Hi

I see you have got the "Unable to read from or write to the database"
error.

I would think you need to delete/rename the .log files in
the folder %windir%\Security\ (and maybe %windir%\System32\CatRoot2\).

I have created a batch file that does this for you.

Look for fixdb.bat under "Error 0x800710D9 Unable to read from
or write to the database"
