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

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!

Hey,

thx for that. I installed the new Atmel driver but im still not able to access the chip. I still get the SM-BUS-Driver error message.

This is becoing a real pain ....
