I had to reinstall Windows XP Home. Now when I try to
access a specific application, a Windows dialog box
appears saying 'Please wait while Windows configures
EFS.' After a while another dialog appears indicating
that EFS is attempting to be installed. These dialog
boxes never disappear and the appl doesn't run. Isn't
EFS only with XP Pro?

The application worked on XP Home before I did the
reinstallation and I already tried reinstalled the app
and it still doesn't work. Did I mess something up when
I attempted to reinstall XP?

Thanks. Lori
 
Perhaps it means some other EFS, since the XP Pro
only EFS does not have an installer, it is part of the
NTFS filesystem install.
 
I know of no such message in Windows - are you sure this is not a third
party application you have installed?
