BitLocker, TPM, and Gateway

Hi,

Can anyone provide a suggestion to get BitLocker enabled with TPM support on
a Gateway computer? I have Vista RC1 installed on a Gateway M280. The M280
has a Broadcom TPM 1.2 chip that is installed properly according to Device
Manager.

However, the TPM managment console, BitLocker Control Panel applet, and the
"manage-bde.wsf" script will not recongize the chip. All other devices are
working properly.

Again, any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Regards,

APA

Post this to the vista.security newsgroup-
you'll have a better chance of getting some
help with this specific question.
