Control panel "Windows Cardspace" doesnt work

Control panel "Windows Cardspace" doesnt work

• Simon Jefferies

  My guess is that CardSpace's secure desktop (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms682573.aspx) causes Miranda to switch to its idle mode and one of them (CS or M) does something wrong in this situation.
  

• jessie2

  same here, thanks for the info
  
  btw: I've submitted this bug to miranda: http://bugs.miranda-im.org/view.php id=2694
  
  

• TOMAHAWK1

  Yep, it was Miranda... no idea what it did, but quiting Miranda IM solved it.
  
  Maybe you should contact the Miranda Devs to sort the problem out.

  No it is working sorryly!!!

  Something else happened this time... a new error i think... some problems with the infocard service.

  
  

• J. Clark

  I made a new user account in xp

  Those errors disappear, but now a new series appeared. When i open the applet in an account user it is saying that an error happened and is shoutting down. After a while it disappear and a dialog with a sentence about an error is there saying to go to see eventviewer, but there i cant find anything and this window is related to the service infocard.exe.

  In a second user account everything is working but that error i explained now is appearing everytime i save a new card, and after reopening Cardspace the new card is saved, so silly error.

  I have exactly the same problem too, with the same errors in Eventlog.
  I have a hard disk only with one partition and Windows (XP Home sp2 fully updated - Italian version) is installed in C :\.
  When Windows Cardspace start, this opens a white window and crash, and the system is nailed.
  I have never installed "Miranda" too.
  

• He is Cool

  I had similar problem.
  Check out the ref about compatibility CardSpace and Miranda IM.
  I solved the problem just like author said.

  Actually, your problem has nothing to do with the original thread. However, make sure your Windows is installed on the NTFS.
  

• Christie Myburgh

  Is it perhaps the "DNS client service" stopped on your system
  Does "Infocard service" depend somehow from "DNS client service" to work
  I had stopped "DNS client service" to use the "MVPS HOSTS file" (http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm).

  The Windows CardSpace service is too busy to process this request

  this means the infocard.exe is still in memory. Crash it through the task manager, restart the infocard service through the services manager and it should work.

  But I can't get CardSpace to work at ALL on my computer! I just installed .Net framework 3 and when I try to start cardspace from the control panel in WinXP SP2, it crashes. The eventlog shows the following error:

  An error occurrred while accessing the card collection. Ein ungultiger Dateipfad wurde angegeben.

  This is German and means something like "an invalid path was specified." So exactly how and where do I specify "the path"

  Another error listed in the event log states that memory could not be opened. But I guess it's connected to the first error, since this one comes afterwards.

  here's the complete list of errors (btw, "occurred" is spelt with 2 r's, not three):

  Searched the entire google, MS newsgroups and this forum, but I can't find anything. HEEELP pleeease!

  yes, I've read about the miranda conflict. But I don't even have it installed. I also tried to shutdown all other programmes and services except those winxp requires to function, but cardspace still crashes

  
  

• Francis Shanahan

  Actually I found that bug reproduces only if "Options/Status/Idle/Become idle if computer is locked" is enabled.
  

• DMillerNCR

  I found these errors too and i couldnt solve for now. And no... it doesnt depends on Miranda: never used Miranda, nor installed.

  -> This is a generic error in icardagt.exe... not so much.

  Seems like Windows Cardspace is saving something in someplace but cant load it.

  The only odd thing on my system is that Windows is installed in E: and the Users are in F: ( without a Documents and Settings folder).
