Hi,

Most likely you need to delete or rename the .log files in the folder
%windir%\Security\ (and maybe in %windir%\System32\CatRoot2\ as well).

(%windir% is usually C:\Windows)

I have created a batch file that does exactly this (and some
additional steps as well).

Look for fixdb.bat under "Error 0x800710D9 Unable to read from
or write to the database"
