local security settings message

when I open administrative tools and then open local security policy I get this message:

The Group Policy security settings that apply to this machine could not be determined.
The error returned when trying to retrieve these settings from the local security policy database (%windir%\security\database\secedit.sdb) was: The parameter is incorrect.

All local security settings will be displayed, but no indication will be given as to whether or not a given security setting is defined by Group Policy.
Any local security setting modified through this User Interface may be subsequently be overriden by domain-level-policies.


Is this message because I have never set any local policy's before? Or do I have a problem?
