Security setup operations failed: creating system keys

I have just downgraded my T60 laptop from Vista to windows xp using the lenovo CD's.
Everything seems to be working well, except that each time I boot up the computer, the lenovo security setup software runs.  If I follow the menus all the way through, I get to the following error on the last screen:
"your security settings have been configured however, one or more setup operations failed: creating system keys"
There was also a message that previously briefly flashed during the bootup (on the "bios" screen?) which stated that the system was designed to use fingerprints to protect something or other, but this was not enabled.  However:  I then ran all updates for windows xp and for lenovo drivers etc.  This message has now gone away (and unfortunately I didn't write it down).
I'm guessing the failure to "create system keys" results in the software running each time I boot up.
Another possibility:  I have not yet enabled the symantec security, as I intend to uninstall it and use other virus protection software.  Could this be causing the"failure to create system keys"?
(The fingerprint reader works fine, and reads my fingerprint at the windows logon screen.)
**UPDATE**:  uninstalled symantec security software, and this had no effect.

  • The NLS operation failed because the registry key Control Panel\International\User Profile cannot be opened. Error code is 2. Error message: The system cannot find the file specified.

    H,
    Since upgrading Windows server 2008 R2 to Server 2012 Standard edition, we get this repetitious critical error in the event log:
    Event 1001
    Op Code NLS initialization
    The NLS operation failed because the registry key Control Panel\International\User Profile cannot be opened. Error code is 2. Error message: The system cannot find the file specified.
    We originally found that the regional date settings after changing them in regional settings (DD/MM/YYYY) and they did not inherit properly from the upgrade but they are ok now. 
    I've looked at HKCU\.Default\Control Panel\International and nothing looks obviously wrong. Country codes, time & date formats are correct.
    How do we ascertain the  cause of this error and the specific registry key that might be problematic?

    Hi,
    This could be caused by firewall rules or security softwares.
    http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/242579-44-hkcu-control-panel-international-opened
    And in addition, the fix is worth a try.
    Nothing happens when you double-click "Region" in Control Panel

  • System.Security.VerificationException: Operation could destabilize the runtime during code coverage run in visual studio

    I have a unit test that basically does the following:
    Creates an app domain using minimum priviledges.  The MarshalByRefObject that is living in the app domain, loads another assembly to execute.  This new assembly basically takes in a data object defined in a separate assembly, and returns a
    new data object of that type.
    All this works fine in debug mode, or when running w/out code coverage.  The Sandbox assembly is signed.
    The exception that gets thrown is this:

  • Client Security Solution And System Key Recovery

    Hey,
    I have an IBM ThinkPad T40 2373-82M Laptop. Everytime Windows starts up Client Security Solution displays a box which is prompting me to enter a password of some sort for authentication. It indicates at the top of the window that the reason for authentication is 'System Key Recovery'. If I click the 'OK' button it brings up another window indicating that authentication has failed and that the security key could not be recovered. I do not recall ever entering a password in the Client Security Soultion programme or anywhere else on my laptop. I am not the first owner of this laptop and I am wondering if the previous owner may still have his/her password in the system? Is there any methid for which I could reset/restore these key's?
    Any help is appreciated.
    Cheers
    Ash

    Thanks for the reply.
    I must say I have read various issues on the web regarding this particular software buddled with Lenovo T series and although I will be uninstalling it I do not believe there is any support on this whatsoever. Too bad cause I did want to use it ...

  • Client Security Solution - System Key Recovery - After Lenovo Service

    I have a T61p running Windows 7, which I recently had to send to Lenovo for service after the video failed. According to my repair summary, the motherboard on the computer was replaced.
    I received the laptop back today, and now when I log on, the system comes up with a window from Client Security Solution asking me to "verify my identity" with "reason: system key recovery."
    Unfortunately, the program will not recognize my password, and I get an error message that authentication has failed.
    I tried calling Lenovo's support number, since the problem seems to be directly related to their replacement of the motherboard, but I received the response that "that's a software issue, we can't help you."
    Any help on this is much appreciated!

    hey shannonw,
    could you try uninstalling the Client Security Solution software and then reinstall.
    once done report back on what happen after.

  • SOS: javax.ejb.CreateException: Create failed because primary key is null

    Hello,
    I am desperately trying to get my application server to create a record through CMP 2. My app server is JRun 4.
    Here is the client:

      public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("\nBegin account DemoClient...\n");
        try {
          // Create A Demo object, in the server

          Account account = ahome.create("toto","toto", "toto","toto","toto","toto","toto","toto","toto","toto","toto",new Date(),new Date());

       * Gets an initial context.

    }and here is the exception I get:

    I don't understand why I get this as the primary key is "toto" and therefore is not null.

    Yes, I have set the PK. Actually this is happening when the number of columns are more than 63 columns. After I reduce the number of column, it is working fine.
    Is it the actual problem???
    fyi, I'm using jboss as the Application Server...

    Hi,
    Disk defrag is initiated when a volume shrink is attempted. See if there is any problem defragging a volume and correct any problems doing that.

  • No way to publish a workflow, I get this error: System.InvalidOperationException: Operation failed with error Microsoft.Workflow.Client.ScopeInactiveException: Scope ... is not in an active state. Its current state is 'Unregistering'

    Hi,
    I'm using Project Server 2013 and I'm not able to publish a workflow in SharePoint Designer 2013, I get this error:
    System.InvalidOperationException: Operation failed with error Microsoft.Workflow.Client.ScopeInactiveException: Scope '/SharePoint/default/d7feb9ea-ccb2-4ec3-8f89-2a45b6cf3777' is not in an active state. Its current
    state is 'Unregistering'. HTTP headers received from the server - ActivityId: c47ef567-8c54-4ae0-9a1a-1e4fb51320d8. NodeId: TestServer. Scope: /SharePoint/default/d7feb9ea-ccb2-4ec3-8f89-2a45b6cf3777. Client ActivityId : c6e5979c-20f8-e042-1f9d-2cb2a25d7f9e.
    ---> System.Net.WebExceptio
    The thing is that I transferred the databases from a Prod.Env. to the Test Env. and from that moment on the Test Env. stopped working (only workflows), then I
    was thinking that maybe the workflow is not working in the Test Environment because when I transferred the databases from Prod Env to Test Env I didn’t transfer the databases related to workflow, I only transferred:
    WSS_Content
    PWA_ServiceDB
    But I didn’t transfer:
    SBGatewayDatabase
    SBManagementDB
    SBMessageContainer01
    WFInstanceManagementDB
    WFManagementDB
    WFResourceManagementDB
    I didn’t transfer them because, before, when I transferred DB’s in version 2010, these DB’s were not needed, as the workflows were done using another method.
    So, I tried to create a new workflow in the Test Env. but there is no way, I always get that error.
    I've tried to Register again the workflow, and the result looks ok, but it doesn't solve the problem:
    Register-SPWorkflowService
    –SPSite "http://whatever/PWA"
    –WorkflowHostUri "http://TestServer:12291"
    –AllowOAuthHttp -Force
    Do you know how to solve this issue or have an idea to give me some light?
    Thank you for your help and regards,
    José Espases

    Looks like you haven't defined the WF scope or the site where you are trying to deploy the workflow to isn't included in the scope

  • "Setup was unable create a new system partition" error installing Win7

    Hi, I've just purchased aSanDisk Extreme 120Gb SSD (model SDSSDX-120G-G25), and when attempting to install Windows 7 I get a error "Setup was unable create a new system partition or locate an existing partition" when selecting the partition to install to. I've already tried various DISKPART commands to clean the drive, create the partition, format to NTFS and make it active, but to no avail. I've also made sure no other drives are connected except the DVD drive for my Windows disc. I'm using a Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3 motherboard, plugged into one of the ICH9R Southbridge SATA ports, and I've switched AHCI mode on already. Anybody have any ideas before I send the drive back? Thanks

    In such a situation, you can clean the entire SSD using diskpart and this will ensure that the boot sector and system reserved partition is also cleaned. Try using the following method to clean the SSD and use the windows automatic partitioning to create partition for the installation of the operating system. 1. Insert the windows 7 DVD into the DVD drive.
    2.On the disk selection screen, press SHIFT+F10. A Command Prompt window opens.
    3.Type diskpart, and then press ENTER to open the diskpart tool.
    4.Type list disk, and then press ENTER. A list of available hard disks is displayed.
    5.Type sel disk number, and then press ENTER. number is the number of the hard disk that you want to clean. The hard disk is now selected.
    6.Type det disk, and then press ENTER. A list of partitions on the hard disk is displayed. Use this information to verify that the correct disk is selected.
    7.Make sure that the disk does not contain required data, type clean all, and then press ENTER to clean the disk.All the partitions and all the data on the disk is permanently removed.
    8.Type exit, and then press ENTER to close9. Continue istallation of Windows OS by using automatic partitioning scheme rather than creating partitions yourself. This worked for me in a similar situation. Hope will work for you as well. Best of Luck:-)

  • Trying to reinstall CS5.5 Master Collection from DVD media on Windows 7 64 bit - setup.exe fails due to msxml3.dll error PDApp message [FATAL] PIM - Failed to Create XML instance : DOMDocument40 ADXML::initWithXMLPath Error:80040154

    If anyone is able to solve this they are a genius (or I am doing something very stupid!)
    I am trying to reinstall CS5.5 Master Collection from DVD media on Windows 7 64 bit PC but setup.exe fails due to a msxml3.dll error.
    Following a big bundle of recent Windows 7 updates, I started getting 'bad image' msxml3.dll error messages when opening any CS5.5 master collection program (Eg Premiere / Photoshop / Illustrator / Dreamweaver). Following advice on some threads here I tried uninstalling and then using the Adobe CC Cleaner Tool to clean up install, then reinstalling from my original DVD media.
    Whenever I try using run setup.exe from installtion disc 1 the installing fails due to 'Missing files'. I have also tried dowloading trial versions and runing setup.exe fro mthe downloaded files but i still get the same message.
    I have searched the forum and others have experienced this error but none of the solutions I have found seem to be working for me - as many seem to relate to download installations whereas I am installing from original DVD media (which worked fine before on the same PC)
    These are the FATAL messages from the PDApp log
    12/11/2014 15:29:27 [FATAL] PIM - Failed to Create XML instance : DOMDocument40 ADXML::initWithXMLPath Error:80040154
    12/11/2014 15:29:27 [FATAL] Setup - Could not initialize ADXML object
    12/11/2014 15:29:27 [FATAL] Setup - Unable to initialize. Error parsing setup.xml file
    The PDApp troubleshooting seems to indicate that this is caused by error in downloads but I am getting it with both original media DVD and downloads.
    I have also tried using my logon (which has admin privileges) and under our main admin account - and I get the same errors.
    Is a clean install of Windows 7 + CS5.5 my only option?
    Any help / info / advice / solutions very much appreciated! I have spent the last 2 days trying to sort this out and seem to be getting nowhere.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the reply kglad - much appreciated.
    I have already tried that option (along with downloading files) as it was one of the solutions mentioned on other threads, but that also failed.
    Any other ideas?

  • The operation failed because of a protection agent failure. (ID 998 Details: The system cannot find the path specified (0x80070003))

    Hello,
    We are getting the following error when trying to backup our fileserver (DPM 2012 R2) to tape.
    "The operation failed because of a protection agent failure. (ID 998 Details: The system cannot find the path specified (0x80070003))"
    What is interesting:
    - The "Short-Term Protection" to disk runs successfully without error
    - The "Long-Term Protection" to tape fails after writing ~2TB of data to a TL2000 tape loader. (Always appears to fail towards end of job with the above error)
    - In the past (until roughly a month ago) the tape portion of this job was completing successfully.
    The DPM logs fail to give much information around the time of error regarding any failures. Likewise windows event logs give no hint of a problem when the job fails.
    Looking for any ideas that may help resolve this.
    Cheers!

  • The export operation failed to create an image file

    I've been experiencing bizarre behavior when attempting to export images to my Usb-connected card reader. After reading some threads on this form, I was convinced that my reader was defective. Same problem on a brand-new reader.
    The specific behavior was as follows: I attempted to export roughly 150 custom-named 500 KB image files to the memory card. The last 15 or so failed to transfer and I got the message, "the export operation failed to create an image file for the versions identified below."
    Trashing VP list didn't help. What did was changing the custom name. There was nothing particularly unusual about the original custom name and the new one was virtually identical. After changing the name, the export worked without a hitch.
    Has anyone experienced similar behavior? Any ideas what's going on?

    problem was that the NEW card reader was faulty as well. My luck!

    i had this problem.  for me the cause had to do with internet explorer TLS settings.
    in IE8 go to tools, internet options, advanced and under security I had to make sure Use TLS 1.0 was checked (only Use SSL 3.0 and Use TLS 1.1 were checked.  I left them checked.).
