The client security solution couldn't load and it gave the following error :
This instance of cssauth.exe cannot start because of an initialization error.
I tried repairing, unintalling/reinstalling from software installer and windows add/remove program, no go at all.
BTW, all my thinkvantage softwares are up to date.
Any one has any idea?

It's all part of the CSS7 troubles...

Check out CSS7 in Windows OS forum - CSS7 is so bad, Lenovo have finally withdrawn it from their web site. I had the same error message (among many others) and after uninstalling/re-installing both the fingerprint software 5.5 and CSS7 it went away. NB: Uninstalling it is not a simple matter - the security cip must be cleared in the right sequence. Check the postings under Windows OS\CSS7.
