Thanks, I had thought I'd checked through the security settings, but will have another pass this evening and see if I can work out what is stopping it.

Sorry, just checked between the two, they are not the same error. Am I better off starting a new thread or just continuing this one here? thanks!

Hi there, I have had the same error. I've uninstalled SC and FAF client, reinstalled both, same error (copied below for reference). Any other idea what it could be?
