I getting the above error when starting Cisco VPN Client. The installed client is vpn523.2k.XP.exe and my OS is XP. I installed this same version on Win2K with no problems. It installs with no issues on XP as well but when I start the client I get the InitStep error message. The program then starts and I can then do a connect and am promted for secreat password which I supply and at this point I would normally get the Radius challenge screen which I'm now not getting. Any ideas on the cause of this issue? As I mentioned the client works fine on Win2K but is giving me issues on XP. All help is appreciated. Thanks
