I have a Windows 7 machine, with no VMs and no OSX anywhere in sight. Yesterday, after not having done anything unusual (such as installing new software) recently, I started getting errors at random times when I plug in or unplug peripherals, such as USB devices or speakers, grouped in the Taskbar with Windows Explorer windows. They look like this:

---------------------------
FileVault
---------------------------
An internal error occurred (object: clsid-not-found(Object::Remote::CLIENT|
(Object::Remote::PROTOCOL_LOCAL|FV::FvServerApp::00000001)
CID_SafeArchive::FileArchiveCache)).
---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------

A bit of Googling tells me that FileVault is the name of an OSX system component that encrypts drives, but that's all I've got.

  • Trying to search for results specific to this problem haven't turned up anything useful.
  • Checking Task Manager for anything named FileVault among running processes turns up nothing.
  • Loading up a program I wrote under a debugger and opening a File Open dialog, which causes shell extensions to be loaded into the process, and then checking the list of loaded DLLs for anything with a name like "FileVault" turns up nothing.
  • Looking for FileVault under the Programs and Features control panel turns up nothing.
  • The first thing I'd suspect is that I've somehow picked up a virus, but a Full scan by Windows Defender turns up nothing.

So I'm about at my wit's end here. Does anyone have any idea what's going on on my system, and how I can make it stop?

  • I've just updated some drivers (with one freemium app) and the same error pops up, win 8 x64 ent (DOMAIN). Time frame proposes that it's a driver error or fringerprint-subsystem bug (apps,drivers,apis).

As pointed out, it's a driver + registry config error.

Reinstall the driver, the deep way if needed, showing hidden devices in device manager, selecting show by CONNECTION (view) and deleting the whole chain inherited and superseded by finger-touch sensor.
