Firefox3 and Password Manager

I've been waiting to upgrade to Firefox3 untill the Password Manager worked with it.
Today System Update promised me such a feature. I installed Firefox3, downloaded the patch
to make Password Manager work with it, installed it and hoped. Vain hope . . .
When I tried to login to the Lenovo Community it didn't fill in my name or password. I can access
the Password Manager from within Firefox3, and it shows this address as one of its sites.
Also, after it didn't fill in the responses for me, it didn't ask me if I wanted to save them.
Apparently I rushed to judgement.

Bob, thanks for your update. Based on your success, I attempted to download FF3 again and finally achieved success this morning. The method I had to go though was as follows:
Disabled the ThinkVantage Password Manager 2.0 add-on within FF2
Unintalled FF2
Tried to install CSS Patch for FF3 provided by Lenovo on 8/6/08 found here, but received feedback that patch had already been installed, which is a true statement:CSS Patch for FF3
Installed FF3 (3.0.3)
Noted that the ThinkVantage Password Manager 2.0 add-on was greyed out and could not be enabled - I thought the patch was supposed to address this!!
Had to work through this process found at: Password Manager incompatible with Firefox 3
Find tvtpwm_moz_xpi.xpi in Client Security Solution install directory (C:\Program Files\Lenovo\Client Security Solution)
Open it using your fav zip program (I used 7-Zip)
Change install.rdf and update <em:maxVersion>2.0+</em:maxVersion> to <em:maxVersion>3.0+</em:maxVersion>
Open chrome/tvtpwm.jar
Edit content/tvtpwm.js and replace window.addEventListener("load", onLoad, true); with following:
window.addEventListener("load", function () { gBrowser.addEventListener("load", onLoad, true); }, false);
Install tvtpwm_moz_xpi.xpi. Go to Firefox's 'File' menu, select 'Open File', navigate to your directory containing the file (in my case, it's 'C:\Program Files\Lenovo\Client Security Solution'), and select it. This will bring up the "Add-ons" installer. Click install and restart Firefox when prompted.
So far, I have had no issues with auto population of username/password. I went through this exact same process multiple times in the past without success. Now, I am wondering if the latest rev. of FF3 (3.0.3) has allowed for better stability with the password manager. I still do not understand what the CSS Patch for FF3 was supposed to ever do. In my opinion, it should have performed what I had to perform manually above.
Question: When I look at my add-ons, the ThinkVantage Password Manager still shows "2.0". It works fine, but should this have changed to 3.0?

Client Security Solution--and Password Manager--no longer autoruns

My T61 was working wonderfully until recent installation of antispyware, antivirus programs.
Prior to that, on boot, I could always see a brief CSS splash screen, and, more importantly, Password Manager would always kick in automatically, to load password data or to ask if I wanted it to remember something.
Now, although Password Manager remains an icon in the system tray, it not only does not detect need for input, hotkeys do nothing, despite being marked enabled.
I downloaded CSS 8.1 from the website (although this was still installed), and ran the "Repair", but still no joy.
Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks again--as you suggested, a thread well worth reviewing.
In my case, I opted for the Rescue and Recovery Quick Restore--albeit with much fear and trepidation, since, unlike the roughly equivalent MS System Restore, this feature does not tell the user the date of the restore point that is being recreated.
As it turned out, this took me back to a point when Norton Internet Security was only partially removed--which created the added anxiety of (a) inability to connect to the Internet through Explorer or Outlook 2007 and (b) inability to launch any Office 2007 program! (That last caused yet another twist, since the instructions I had previously followed to completely removed Norton were now saved as .docx files....) Although Norton Internet Security was still present on the desktop, and ccApp.exe was obviously running (and unable to shut itself down on Restart), Add/Remove Programs (the first step in the removal process) would not work--"the module is missing."
Fortunately, I was able to download the Symantec Removal Tool through another computer onto a USB drive, copy the program to the T61, and run it there. (Note that although Explorer would not load fully, Internet access of a sort was still available as witness System Update and Microsoft Update downloading without difficulty--though MS could not complete installing updates for Office 2007 with Norton still in the picture. This matters because the Removal Tool accesses the net.)
Once Removal had done its thing, Explorer, Office 2007, and Password Manager again worked as before.
Sadly, I still don't know what the necessary ingredients for CSS/Password Manager are--there ought to be a listing of what files these otherwise excellent programs require. And I'm not sure what approach to firewall, antivirus, and antispyware I ought to take, given the possibility that the programs I replaced Norton Internet Security with caused CSS/Password Manager grief.
Sigh.

Additional software functionalities: To-Do and passwords management???

I just activated my iphone and find it amazing for the functionalities advertised by apple but quite deficient in basic tools other phones offer pretty much as standard nowadays. I am referring to the ability to manage a list of to do items, prioritise them and tick them off when done. Where is it?
Furthermore, is there any add-on software that allows passwords management in a secure environment?
Thanks for any help you can send my duirection!!!
Marco

I totally agree. I think my iPhone is brilliant. Does pretty much what I want. (I know others have mentioned lack of MMS or 3G) but this isn't an issue for me.
However I was surprised at the lack of a "to do" list, which I more or less expected as part of the calendar function, and something that I used all the time on my previous phone.
Given so much has been made in leopard regarding to do's and notes in Mail and integration with iCal. I'm surprised at this omission on iPhone.
I also would beg Apple to add this as part of a future update.

"Message Center" and "Password Manager" stay on top after Boot-Sequence

Hello,
when I boot my system the "Password Manager" and "Message Center" start automatically. The windows used to disappear after the start sequence, but do not any more.
Both the Info-Window (Password Manager) and the empty Message Window (Messsage Center) stay on top of the desktop.
It's absolutely annoying clicking both windows away each morning....
Is there any help?

OIM 11.1.1.5 Ldapsync OID and Password Management

Hello All,
I have the following setup:
- OIM 11.1.1.5
- Ldapsync
- OID 11.1.1.2 (patched to 11.1.1.5)
I'm trying to validate to following password management scenario:
1. End user connects to OIM web console
2. Reset its own password
Expected:
a. The password is updated in OIM ( OK )
b. The password is updated in OID via ldapsync ( OK )
c. The OID attribute pwdReset is updated from 1 to 0 ( NOK )
OBS: pwdreset | If the value is 1, the user must reset the password at the next login.
Problem:
Ldapsync updated the password on OID as expected but the attribute pwdReset was not updated.
Thanks for shedding any light
Adr.

Hello jtellier,
No solution yet, it is still in my list though, but with low priority.
I'll be happy to hear from you in case you find something.
Good luck

Password Manager and IE9 RC

Hello, Installed the latest version of Client Security Solution and Password Manager does not work at all. I'm using IE9 RC 64 bit but also tried it out on Firefox and does not work. I'm running Win 7 64bit.
When I went to update my software Lenovo did recommend a patch for Password Manager 64 bit but nothing's working. Is there a fix/workaround to get it working in a 64 bit environment?
Thanks John

Hello mate,
Have you activated the TPM chip in the bios ?
Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information on it.

Fingerprint Reader access to KeePass (from a Thinkpad with Password Manager)

The goal: secure, convenient, automated login to password-protected sites
KeyPass is a great open-source program for secure creation, storage and use of login passwords and other information. With a plugin called KeeForm, it allows very convenient automatic login to password-protected sites by clicking on a KeePass entry. To preclude unintended access to all of your secure information, it is wise to close Keepass after each use, or set Keepass to lock when minimized. But this is less convenient, because a long secure master password then has to be entered before each use of Keepass.
Using a fingerprint reader to enter Keepass can be a big time saver while retaining security. Capacitive swipe fingerprint readers can be very secure, provided they operate through equally secure software. They are available as USB units, or integrated into some keyboards and notebook computers, for example some Lenovo ThinkPads.
Unfortunately, set-up can be a challenge and there may be disadvantages even after the best workable interface between KeePass and a particular biometric system. This example uses the integrated fingerprint reader and software on a Lenovo ThinkPad X61.
The problem: getting secure fingerprint software to use KeePass
ThinkPads can use Lenovo fingerprint software alone for start-up into Windows, but they need additional layers of software (Client Security Solution - CSS, and Password Manager - PM) to work with other programs including KeePass. PM uses CSS security functions.
Cautions about Lenovo CSS:
1. Some organisations advise against CSS because of problems including clashes with antivirus programs. See http://www.ncsu.edu/antivirus/lenovo/ and
http://prowiki.isc.upenn.edu/wiki/ThinkVantage_Software_Under_Windows_Vista
These bugs may have been fixed over time - but install at your own risk!
2. CSS and PM introduce their own system overheads which may slow some operations.
3. Once tried, CSS may not simply be inactivated while restoring basic fingerprint start-up into Windows. The X61 at least insists that CSS be reactivated for any fingerprint function. If you try a Windows system restore to a time before CSS was first activated, you may experience the ‘blue screen of death'. The security chip evidently regards your desire for a past configuration as a security breach. With luck you may ‘live again' if you can log into Windows in Safe Mode to undo the attempted system restore. After that, I reactivated CSS. I was not game to try uninstall after inactivation of CSS - but see the ncsu link above.
Having decided to accept the ‘risks' of activating CSS and PM, you may want to try PM for all password management. For me it would not recognise some internet logins, could not complete auto-submission in others, and did not allow the manual adjustments that make KeePass so versatile. Unfortunately PM help is very limited. There is no current user manual (old manuals up to v1.4 available on the web do not match the properties of the current v3 of the software). KeePass (or the KeeForm plugin) also struggles with some sites, but it works much better overall. Help on KeeForm plugin syntax is limited, but otherwise KeePass help is great.
So we really want the fingerprint reader (via PM) to work for KeePass master password entry.
This is not so simple for five interacting reasons:
(i) It is tricky to register KeePass in PM;
(ii) PM then gets confused by ‘hidden' entry of a master password during fingerprint login to KeePass, and repeatedly tries to save ****** as a changed master password;
(iii) PM also tries to automatically register each entry opened for editing within KeePass;
(iv) PM tries to automatically register other logins even if they are managed through KeePass.
(v) Your KeePass records are now only as secure as your PM login (which is likely to be your Windows login).
The solutions: or workarounds at least
The best workarounds I could develop for these five issues were:
(i) To register KeePass in PM, first ensure that PM is running (icon in the system tray). Then launch KeePass, click the login window box for unobscured password display (three blue dots turn black), enter the master password and click OK to start KeePass as usual.
If PM does not offer to save an entry for KeePass by this stage, try ‘plan B'. Open a window to edit an entry in KeePass, then click Cancel. PM seems to recognise this more readily as a login window and may offer to create an entry. Accept the offer, and name the entry KeePass. Then open PM to edit the saved entry. You will have to edit several fields to achieve an effective PM entry for KeePass:
The title field must be "Open database - database.kdb", to match the title of the KeePass login window.
The file name field should show the full path to KeePass.exe (something like C:\Program Files\KeePass\PeePass.exe depending on your installation).
The login and password data field is accessed by double clicking the entry. It will need to show only your KeePass master password (in the unobscured text view). In login and password data, delete each line of unwanted text until you get to the final password line (shown as *****), and edit this line to provide your master password.
In the Advanced tab, select auto-fill and auto-submit and the desired security level [see (v) below]. Then select OK to get to the PM front window, and File - Save Changes, then Exit.
Now when you close and re-launch KeePass, PM should automatically intervene (requesting a fingerprint to complete the KeePass login if you selected that security level. Select ‘No' when PM asks to change the password [see (ii) below].
If you had no luck, try ‘plan C'. Close KeePass completely, then launch it again to open the login window. Then right-click the PM icon in the system tray, open the ‘Type and Transfer Tool', click the box for unobscured password display, type in the KeePass master password, drag the cross-hairs to the password field in the waiting KeePass login window, and release the password there. Click OK to start KeePass as usual, then click OK to close the PM transfer window. If there is still no KeePass entry in PM, check that KeePass has not been included in the PM excluded programs list. If this sequence does not work, reboot and check again. Failing all else, any entry that PM succeeds in making from any login page can be edited to an effective KeePass entry by editing fields as described above for ‘plan B'.
PM (v3.00) can be coy to associate initially, but it will accept KeePass (v1.14) as a password-managed program, and thereafter it reliably succeeds to auto-submit the KeePass login after some help described in (ii) below.
(ii) Having sent the correct master password to the KeePass login window, PM becomes confused by the ‘hidden' text now in the password field, and offers to change its record of your KeyPass master password to ******. You can manually select ‘No' in the PM changed-password dialogue box that appears every time you use PM / fingerprint for KeePass login. But Beware: if you ever accidentally select ‘Yes' (the default) your KeePass master password record in PM will be changed to ******. This can be edited to provide the correct password again, but it is more than a minor pain in the AR5E. Unless you know (or have a backup of) your KeePass master password you just lost access to your KeePass database!
To avoid this big nuisance and risk, you can set up to restart KeePass for each use from a desktop shortcut (instead of minimising it to the system tray) and have the shortcut run a batch file with vbs scripts that send the ‘No' message to PM automatically.
Here is an example batch file, with corresponding vbs scripts. You can make all these files using Notepad and save the files with the names indicated, into the KeePass program directory (C:\Program Files\KeePass in this example).
KeePass.bat (This launches KeePass and tells PM v3 not to change the password. Caution: If Lenovo changed PM program design in future, the effect could change; the batch file might send {TAB}{ENTER} keystrokes to another open window on your computer):
C:
cd\
cd "C:\Program Files\KeePass"
start " " "C:\Program Files\KeePass\KeePass.exe" "C:\Program Files\KeePass\Database.kdb"
start /w Sleep.vbs 1
start /w AppActivate.vbs
start /w SendKeys.vbs
Sleep.vbs (provides a short delay to open the ThinkVantage dialogue window, otherwise the following scripts fail because they are sent too soon):
Wscript.Sleep Wscript.Arguments(0) * 1000
AppActivate.vbs (puts focus on the ThinkVantage Password change dialogue window so that Tab and Enter commands are not sent elsewhere with undesired effects):
CreateObject("WScript.Shell").AppActivate "ThinkVantage Password Manager"
SendKeys.vbs (sends a ‘No' response to the PM request to change its KeePass entry):
CreateObject("WScript.Shell").SendKeys "{TAB}{ENTER}"
Please substitute ) where you see smileywink: in the vbs scripts above - I can't get this forum window to stop automatically translating the " ) sequence of text (without a space) as an emoticon.
This batch file approach should work with additional startup switches for KeePass, for example the /backup.path: switch used by ‘another backup' plugin (or you can use the db_backup plugin that works from the KeePass.ini file). Quotes are needed around any entry with spaces. But some things that ‘should work' such as just writing "KeePass.exe" instead of the full path in line 4 of the batch file do not give the same outcome for me. This may be an effect on timing of the switch of focus between windows - so if you strike a problem it may be worth experimenting with the delay time set through the sleep script.
If you set KeePass to lock when minimised, you will have to deal manually with the PM changed-password dialogue every time you re-access KeePass. So it is simpler to close rather than minimise KeePass after each use and restart it when needed, via the batch file.
(iii) You have to tell PM ‘No' whenever it offers to save an entry that is edited in KeePass. This is less of a nuisance, because entries rarely need to be edited once set up in Keepass. There is no way to turn off this requirement. If you select ‘Never' it will prevent use of PM and therefore fingerprint entry to start KeePass (not just the edit window).
(iv) Turn off internet login within PM. This will leave all internet logins to KeePass. Unfortunately you can not set PM to only allow a single program login (KeePass), but you can set it to exclude specific programs, so do that for other programs that you access via KeePass.
(v) Finally, set PM security within CSS so that a fingerprint (or a password if the fingerprint reader fails) is needed every time PM is launched (not just once per boot). Similarly, set KeePass security this way within PM. Otherwise (if you set the requirement to once per boot) your passwords are open to inspection while you are away from your booted computer.
Caution: How secure is your Windows login password? Most likely this is also your PM login password, so it now allows access to your KeePass database! Make sure that it is a unique, secure and preferably memorable password.
How close are we now to the desired combination of security and convenience?
Click on the KeePass shortcut to the batch file given above, swipe the fingerprint, wait while CSS works, then click on the relevant Keepass entry to access any password-protected site or application in your Keypass list - great convenience.
Security is very strong - both KeePass and PM are extremely secure unless you use a weak or insecure master password or select less secure settings.
Starting (or opening a locked instance of) KeePass without the batch file given above requires a couple of extra carefully-placed clicks in the process to tell PM not to mess up its entry for KeePass, then to complete KeePass startup. This is less convenient, and a mistake could prevent future database access - so the batch file method is recommended.
A final caution (while enjoying secure & convenient logins):
Beware - fingerprint access is so convenient that you may forget your master passwords! Eventually they will be needed! You may click the wrong button in PM, suffer a faulty fingerprint reader or change computers! Then you must recall your master passwords before you can access your password file (and possibly your computer). This could be devastating: loss of all secure password information in KeePass and PM (and possibly loss of all information on a protected computer drive, not to mention need to pay for a computer motherboard and HDD replacement). So:
1. Choose very secure but ‘unforgettable' master passwords for KeePass and computer (PM) access.
2. Always set up a secure master password as an alternative to biometric authentication (in case of a faulty fingerprint reader).
3. Keep your password database backups, and your separate master password backups, in another secure (preferably encrypted) but accessible location!
Program versions tested:
KeePass v1.14 (v2 betas not tested) with KeeForm v2 and DB_Backup v1.14
Lenovo CSS v8.20 with PM v3.00
The solutions were tested in November 2008 on a Thinkpad X61 running Windows Vista Business. The tricks to interface with KeePass can vary between fingerprint programs (search the KeePass forum).

I'm reviving quite an old topic here, but I have been unable to find any other good information on this. I currently use the latest version of Keepass v2.23 and have Lenovo Passoword Manager v4.3 installed on my new W530 laptop. I can't get PM to recognize any passowords at all, in web browsers or in windows application.
In PM the only thing I can do is create folders and secure notes. My fingerprint software works great for automated logins to windows. Does anyone have any experience with using the fingerprint reader with a windows application like Keepass?
How can I get the Password manager to do ... anything? Recognize a password in windows or a web browser?
I'm open to any other software to be used or I can write scripts if necessary to accomplish this. It doesn't seem like this should be so difficult, but from what I've learned about Lenovo so far, is that nothing is easy. After trying to get battery charge thresholds working proplery in Windows 8, I've already lost faith in a company that I thought had a great reputation.

Password Manager not working with any internet browsers

I have Thinkvantage password manager installed (v. 3.20.0311.00) on my Thinkpad X201. I am running Windows 7 professional, 64 bit. Password Manager works for all programs except IE8 or Mozilla Firefox (eg. works for Outlook, works for iTunes, etc.). When browsing, the program simply never pops up. It worked previously, and I still have many saved website login details, but it never logs in for me any more and new sites do not activate the program.
I have made sure that the add-on is enabled and I have checked the box next to "enable 3rd party browser extensions" in the advanced tab of internet options. I have also tried resetting internet explorer settings. As mentioned above, this in not only a problem with IE8; it also occurs with Firefox.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

Newbie needs help comprehending CSS Password Manager functions

Hello All:
I own a TP W500 4062-27U running Windows 7 Ultimate. The computer is trouble-free.
I am seeking a solution to the following need: An application that will securely remember my passwords for various websites, etc. and enable me to log in using the fingerprint reader or similar.
I am aware that Lenovo provides both Fingerprint Reader software and Client Security Solution software, but I don't know whether or not either one (or both) of these applications will provide the functionality I am seeking. I have spent a fair bit of time looking around the Lenovo website, but cannot find a document that describes (in a general, overview manner) the functionality that CSS provides.
I don't need to log into VPNs, or company networks, or anything really fancy like that - I just need something that will enable me to log into about 20 different websites, using a different password for each website. Right now, I'm generally using the same password for every website (that way, I can remember what it is), and as I think you will agree, that is probably not a very good practice so far as security is concerned.
If anyone could point me towards a document that explains how I can get CSS to do what I want it to do, I would be very grateful. If CSS does not have the functionality I am seeking, I would very much appreciate a recommendation of software - possibly non-Lenovo - that does provide the functionality I am seeking.
Thanks very much for your assistance.
Michael

Hi PanEuropean2,
Welcome to Lenovo Forum!
In regard to your question, Client Security Solution (CSS) should be the right fit for you.
I have a T410 with Win 7, and have several passwords to remember which is really killing me. However, by using CSS, Fingerprint software and Password Manager, I need to enter all the passwords only once when access a website or a tool, and let it saved in CSS.
The next time i turn on the machine and open up a website which needs user ID and password, I just need to swipe the fingerprint that I've enrolled, then viola!
Just take note that after the first swipe of fingerprint, tools or website that are to be accessed later will automatically show the password in the box directly without having to swipe fingerprint again. You just need to click to log in. I"m not sure if this is the experience you're looking for, however, no harm to give it a try.
Here's the user guide for CSS. It has

Hope this helps

Thinkvantage CSS Password Manager Import Problem

Good morning,
I have run into a bit of a problem.
Backstory: About a month ago my HD crashed on my T61, and since I was thinking about upgrading to Win7 Professional from XP Pro SP3, it seemed like the perfect time since I had to do a clean install anyway. Just before the crash I backed up everything on the HD to a backup drive including the previous version of CSS and password manager.
Present Day: I have managed to upgrade to Win7 Pro, reinstall all of the applications, documents, etc, and install the latest version of CSS that works with Win7 Pro 64bit. Everything is working fine including Password Manager.
I have found the .PWM file on the backup drive and attempted to import it to the new version of PWM. It keeps asking for a password. I have tried every password (including system password) to no avail.
Can someone assist me in finding a work around or a way to import this file? There are too many entries in this file that cannot be re-created from memory.
Thank you in advance.

Thanks for the suggestion. There is one thing I need to clarify: I did not export the backup from the older version CSS Password Manager (8.30.0045) but was trying to use the .pwm file from its data folder in my backup archives. I tried what you suggested, re-installed the older version (the oldest I could find from Lenovo website, CSS 8.30....), then there were two options I was facing: import the *.pwm file from the back (even though it was not originally exported), I was asked import password, for which I tried every possible one I've used before but none worked. Then I directly put the *.pwm file into the same path location %user%\AppData\Roaming\Lenovo\Client Security Solution and hoped the older version will be able to pick it up upon opening. No, it did not. Even more strange things, it asked for my password and then disappeared without giving either the password manager GUI or any error.
Then I did what you said to clear the TPM in the BIOS and got no luck of anything different.
Any other advice is highly appreciated!

W7 64 BIT Password Manager not working

Using CSS 8.3. Can use fingerprint to log into W7. But the Password Manager feature will no longer work.
Known issue?
I'm also dual booting with Vista 32 bit. In Vista it works fine. Could the problem be one BIOS chip since its hardware connected (I think) but 2 OS'?

Can not get Firefox to remember a new password. Deleted old one for Password Manager, however it does not ask to save new password. Can't find a solution, please help!

I changed my password for a website, and Password Manager kept putting in my old password. Deleted the password from Manger, however Firefox does not ask me for a new one at all. Checked the help desk, but the solutions are not working either. Restarted computer, nothing. What do I need to do from here?

Hey lydiac,
You could try going to ''Tools > Options > Privacy'' and removing the individual cookie for that site. You can also try going to ''Tools > Options > Security'' and verifying that the site isn't in your exceptions list.
Hopefully this helps!

Does Firefox password manager work with Yubikey?

I'm considering using a Yubikey and need to know will it work with Firefox browser and password manager.

What do you mean "will it work with?" In what way? Do you want to use it as the master password, do you want to use it for two-factor, do you want to save keys and then use them later? What are you asking?

Cannot disable password manager in ThinkPad Edge 13!!

I tried out password manager in Lenovo ThinkVantage Tools --> Password Vault
After setting it up, I don't want to use it any more. But there is NO WAY to disable it.
I know it's run from Client Security Solution folder in C:\Program Files. But there is no link in the start menu or add/remove programs in Control Panel. There is also NO entry in Startup folder or Registry.
How does this Password Manager thing gets run when my computer starts up? The red icon in the tray is very annoying and I just can't find a way to disable it!!
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
in this case please go to registry :
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData
- once you are there press CTRL+F and type there
Client
and hit ENTER
- this should start the search for this word in the registry
- please continue in the search untill you will find the full name of Client Security Solution
- in this same/right site you will also see the key called "UninstallString"
- execute this string, so that the uninstallation process will be started.
In case you just want to deactivate the security options, then please start CSS GUI
Start->Programs->ThinkVantage->Client Security Solution
- on the left site go to "Enhanced Security" and now on the right site click "Deactivate"
- this will deactivate the CSS and password manager
- also to be sure, that it's deactivated, go to windows services and make sure, that the following service is set to deactivated:
"TSS Core Service"
I think one of this should help you out.
Please let me know, about your results.
Cheers
