I just got this error after doing a system update on my laptop.

Error: 0xC004D401
Description: The security processor reported a system file mismatch error.

What does this mean and what should I do to fix it?

Does it happen every time or just once? When exactly does the error come up?

This was the first time it happened. What is it?

Either the OS you have is pirated, or some security software you have is not compatible with Vista. If could have been a temporary thing when Vista updated a file that the OS caught as bad for a second.
