I would recommend that you investigate the secedit database to see if it
has become corrupt.

Using esentutl /g c:\Windows\Security\database\secedit.sdb to check the
status of the database.

Using esentutl /p c:\Windows\Security\database\secedit.sdb to repair any
problems if the first command reports that the database is corrupt.

Come back if this does not work, you may need to backup the database and
log files and delete and start from scratch.

Hello,
I am receiving the following error when launching Group Policy Editor.
I've not received this before. Only recent.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thank.

"The Group Policy security settings that apply to this machine could not
be determined.
The error returned when trying to retreive these settings from the local
security policy database
(%windir%\security\database\secedit.sdb was : The parameter is
incorrect."
