HELP!!! When I try to open User Rights Assignments or Account Policys I recieve a message "Windows cannot open the local policy database. The Database you are attempting to open does not exist" I know the database is there, I can see it but it doesn't open. WHY? How can I get my Local Policies back? Anyone ever see this problem?

Thanks.

To fix the problem, delete or rename the following:

%SystemRoot%\Security\Edb.*
%SystemRoot%\Security\Res*.*
