Re: NOW WHAT? "The maximum number of secrets that may be stored i



Just battled this out on an Acer Aspire desktop. Vista home premium. It
turned out to be Webroot Spysweeper that was the offending program that
caused the "the maximum number of secrets that may be stored in a single
system has been exceeded" message. Un-installed it and now system restore
works fine. No more message. As a note the program was functioning and
seemingly working ok but apparently something was wrong... Hope this helps...

you using fake CD burning/copying software"?
That weird error notice could only come from China where the grasp of
English is rather tenuous at best.

Aren't those prompted warning messages controlled by your administrators,
within your office or organization? well pretty much the application
control and policy controls within your organization is not controlled by
Microsoft but by your Administrator.

Better inquire/contact your administrator about the grounds and parameters
wherein that message should appear and how to go over it since you require
such actions without you seeing that message.

I run Vista Premier on a Acer Notebook and get above error when I want
to access the System Restore tab

So I have too many encrypted antries (where? what? passwords? too
many?

Nowhere on MS it says what can be done about it

Delete my passwaord repository????????????????????????

I do Not have encrypted files or directories on my laptop

TIA



So Far there seems to have been little help offered ..

If this is your laptop, you are your own default "System Administrator"
and if this problem remains ... you might try the following...

Investigate the last program you installed...

this error has been successfully removed (or fixed) by uninstalling a
software application that had not successfully complete its installation
process

In this specific case the program was PCTools "Registry Mechanic". In your
case another application may produce the same error. Try uninstalling and
reinstalling the application.

Please post your results to help the next VISTA user

Good Luck
