"Failed to save Local Policy Database"
Sometimes, after a fresh install of Windows XP, the security managment console refuses to apply changes, instead providing the error "Failed to save Local Policy Database".
Often the problem is that you do not have permission to add/change entries in the database; if you're part of the administrators group, you have permission to change the permissions though. Fire up regedit and give the Administrator group "Full Control" over "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\".
