Vista - Error message Failure security option notice....

Hi I am having the same problem on on of our company Laptops.

I have insutructed that the worker use safe-mode for now but this is not
feasible in the long-term

Has anyone found a solution to this ?

I've had this problem for months. As far as I know at present, nobody has
come up with a solution. The suggestions so far seem to be: Hard drive
problem, Power saving, anti virus programs etc. The one thing that has not
been mentioned is a Vista bug. Ctrl-Alt-Del normally brings up the Task
Manager, Switch user etc. but I suspect in this case it is trying to bring
up the logon screen.
In my case the problem occurs when I leave my machine idling for more than
10 minutes, run windows CompletePC backup that freezes almost at the end.
If I leave my machine long enough after the freeze, even the logon failure
will not appear. The only solution I have is a disruptive shutdown and
reboot. So if I want a drinks break, I shut the machine off or put it to
sleep.

I have that same issue. Every now and then (completely random as far as I know) the computer will freeze or go unbearably slowly and when I press ctrl+alt+delete nothing will happen for a long time. Eventually, the screen turns black and then after an even longer time a message appears saying that there was a Failure - Security options. I don't know how to fix this, it's obviously some kind of Vista bug. Someone help!
