    When I turn on my T60, the message "checking embedded security chip" is displayed for a minute. Is it normal for it to take this long? I went to the client security panel to disable it, but the description made it sound like it is necessary for the fingerprint reader to work, is this true?

    I'm also having this problem. I just got my computer a week ago and it just started hapenning today. Does anybody know what's causing this?

    To solve this I disabled the embedded security chip in the BIOS and uninstalled the Client Security Solution software.
