    2. in the System Restore dialog box, click on choose another restore point and then click Next.

    3. in the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.

    Step 2: If you try to install any application before this program, try to uninstall them.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/uninstall-or-change-a-program

    If this solves the problem, you can deduct that the demand is probably corrupted, damaged or incompatible. You can check with the manufacturer of the program for more information.

    Step 3: System Restore: System Restore to put the computer's system files to an earlier point in time.

    Hi Kim,

    The description of the problem seems a little unclear and I wish I had a better understanding before you start working on it. I appreciate if you could help me with more information.

    1. when exactly you receive this error message?

    2. are you on a computer in the domain?

    3 is the Microsoft Security Essentials-specific issue?

    The error messages say about group policy which is the collection of settings that define the appearance of a system and how it behaves for a defined group of users. Microsoft provides a program with a console (Group Policy Microsoft Management Console). The console allows programmers select a GPO that is linked to the directory of centers for domains, organizational units or sites. GPO provides the programmer with security options, the software installation and maintenance options, scripting options and the folder redirection options.
