Hi all,
I got a new computer and after install all the software and made
almost all the configuration, when I tried to modify the security
policies (with either secpol.msc or gpedit.msc) I get the following
error message:

- --------------------------------------------------------------------
--
The group Policy security setting that apply ti this machine could
not be detemined. The error returned whe trying to retreive these
setting from the local security policy database
(%windir%\security\database\secedit.sdb) was: The parameter is
incorrect.

All local security settings will be displayed, but no indication will
be
given as to whetever or not a given security setting is defined by
Group
Policy.
Any local security setting modified throufg this User Interface my
subsequently be overriden by domain-level policies.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------

My computer is standalone (like the majority of home PC) so it should
not get any domain-level policies or stuff like that and it should
rely only on local policies.

I do not if it is useful, but here is what I have done in the last
few days (I know I done a mess, but I had no choice):
- - I got the new computer with WinXP Home;
- - I installed WinXP Pro with format of hard drive;
- - Due to some problem with the audio card drivers (basicly I had no
driver to install), I reinstalled WinXP Home with a Recovery CD in
soft mode (that mean it restores the files without erasing the HD,
but instead by overwritting);
- - I reinstalled WinXP Pro. in upgrade mode (without format the HD).

Do you know any way how can I solve it?

Thank in advance.
