CSS 6 - Security Chip

[_FJ_]

Hey,

1st post : A happy welcome from my side.

I got my TP a little while ago and thought that updates suggested by Lenovo were always a good idea. As it happened, I installed CSS 8 over my version 6 without me noticing, that 8 doesnt support Private Disk. Sine I like PD and having a good amount of data on those files I had to go back to version 6 ...

but now I have trouble with the Security Chip.

When the CSS Window comes up I enter all the data and PWs (Step 1 to 5) but when it then tries to generate a system key (step 'post' 6) it fails.

Additionally ... when I try to change the status security chip in CSS it says: "Error loading SM-Bus-Driver" ... or something similar depeding on the literal translation. I guess I need to reinstall it but I dont know where to find it. Cudnt find it on the Lenovo website nor on the Atmel website - which doesnt mean they arent somewhere there.

I have been trying front and back on fixing this, since Im longing for full functionality ...

Cheers,

FJ

I guess I need to reinstall it but I dont know where to find it.

It is not clear to me what software you want to reinstall. If it's CSS 8, then you can find it here:

The Atmel TPM driver is here:

Good luck!

This is becoing a real pain ....
