Virtual Environment restrictions apply!

Hi Guys, it’s my first post so please bear with me if I’m in the wrong place.

I’ve just upgraded to CIS on one machine with absolutely no issues whatsoever - wonderful.

However my Laptop. XP SP2 Home 32X, won’t play nice!

I’ve uninstalled and re-installed the software 5 or 6 times, I’ve trawled, and cleaned the registry entries, so am happy that it’s a clean install, and as such probably not a CIS issue, and more than likely it’s being tripped up by my settings.

Simply put after every install, I get “Defence + has limited functionality in this system, Virtual environment restrictions apply”

I do not have any virtual drives, just a partitioned hard drive. The machine is networked (wired) and I have to say very stable.

So my question is simply this - what does CIS look for when deciding whether or not to trigger this warning?

If I knew that - I could then double check my settings and services, because as I said, I’m relatively convinced that it is a local issue - but I may be wrong.

Does anyone have any thoughts?

Best wishes, and thanks in advance.

This will be only of limited help but I’ll post this anyway.

I guess that said warning is triggered by your current setup.

There could be other security/utility applications that are incompatible with CIS/CFP or maybe some account restriction.

Please report any security software you are running ATM. Addittionally you could try to create a new admin account and install CIS from there.

Would having terminal services disabled create this problem, I identified that my fast user switching wasn’t starting, because the Terminal Services service was disabled!

AFAIK terminal service should not cause of this issue. Many users had it disabled in previous cfp versions but it won’t hurt to try.

I gess one test would be to create a new admin account and install and run CIS from there without using fast user swithcing.

If still doesn’t work it will be more plausible to assume the cause to be a conflict with another software.
