    Hi.

    I have SZ61XN/C and TPM installed and using a secured drive, letter S:

    Today I wanted to install some software and I downloaded it from mininova. There also was a crack with it, but NOD did not report anything wrong with it.

    After I installed the software and applied crack I needed to restart PC. There was a weird notice when I booted into windows and for the first time I need to press the button to login - always in the past this was done AUTO by the TPM software. I did not manage to read what the MSG said, but it started with "You should set up ... " probably something with the auto login thing. Anyway I wanted to use the installed software and it did not work. After googling I found out there is a new version available and I DLed it. Meanwhile windows started to behave very weird. The printer agent started to miss some INI files and I was unable to browse the internet. So I just rebooted and now that MSG is no longer there, printer agent is working ok, I can use internet without any problems, but TPM says there is "Unspecified error" and it shuts down so I am unable to access my secured drive.

    Another big, bigger problem is, that because of missing secured drive I cannot install/uninstall TPM. It seems that windows installers goes throw all available partitions seeking for free space and because it cannot access my secured drive, it throws out error: Error 1327.Invalid Driver: S:\

    I scanned my computer with NOD32, HijackThis and MBAM and none reported any viruses/spyware/malware found so I guess my computer is clean and all problems were caused by TPM software.

    Any idea how to fix this? I dont actually care about the stuff that I had on my secured drive, it can just be wiped out if there is no other way, I would just like to fix this.

    I managed to fix the problem and since there is no activity on this thread I suggest its get deleted by admins.
