    This behavior occurs because the Backup Operator is not permitted to update the tape label.

  • A hardware fault with VIA chipset motherboards can cause the error.

  • This behavior can occur if the Allow service to interact with desktop box is checked in the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service.

  • Additionally this error can be caused if you have Veritas BackupExec? installed - http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/264969.htm
