software licensing error

I just started with Vista last night, so naturally, I panicked when I saw my first error message:
Software Licensing reported an error Code: 0xC004D401 Description: The secure licensing service reported a system file mismatch error.

I probably should have asked a question... What does this error mean, and what should I do about it?

What AV program you using ... I have the same error that only started after I installed KAV ... now I cannot un-install it.

I downloaded avast!... come to think, it did start right after I installed that... uh-oh.

Yep, I would say so ... I had to re-install Vista ... have no problems, as long as I do not install any AV program. LoL
Not a worry for me, I'll continue with the rest of the experiment. ;-)

0xC004D401 after kaspersky 30 day trial installed (shortly after reboot) But it seems to be scanning......
Also AVG free install rejected by OS as unsupported
couldn't find squat on the net.
did not attempt uninstall....but did set restore!
Anyone with similar prob used restore successfully to extract Kaspersky? "muckshifter" wrote:

I get the same error going into control panel but have loaded the CA anti virus software. I don't think these problems are linked to anti-virus.
