Protected Workspace: Could Not Start Protected Workspace

My notebook is running in WINXP Professional SP3. I am using Firefox 3.6.8.

 

 

After I clicked "Yes, Virtual desktop will be started", there was a popup shown with message, 'Preparing the new profile'. Then it disappeared. After a while, the following error dialog box was displayed:

 

 

"Protected Workspace: Could not start Protected Workspace".

 

 

I tried on IE 7.0 also. Also the same error result.

 

 

My Windows Firewall is on. I also install Trend Micro OfficeScan client. No other 3rd-party security related software installed.

 

 

What should I do right now ?

 

  • Install the pws hotfox from f5 if using 6.0.3. Other options include removing the Microsoft hf kb955759 or use the unregister tool Microsoft made for the Indeo codec.
  • Have you seen http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/8000/100/sol8119.html

     

    They say fixed in version 6.0.3 but what version are you running?

  • Sam,

     

     

    Can you try this for me? It will unregister the Indeo Codec. Close all instances of IE (kill all processes) and try again after you complete the .MSI setup.
