Check to see if the IPSec service is running.

Go to Start, Settings, Control Panel, Administraotr tools and open
Services.

in the new window that pops up find IPSEC Services, open it and see if
Startup type is set to Automatic, if not then set it.

Next see if it is started by looking next to Service status: if it is
not started then click on the start button.
No try and use IPSec and see if you get the error.
