Cardreader

[gabriel]

Recently I have installed a card reader (ACR38U) and the middeleware
(Belgium Identity Card 3.5 - beid-runtime-3.5-364 - pkcs#11)software.

All works fine, I can send signed mails (Thunderbird), read from
Internet sites (Firefox) that needs authorization from a card, ...

What I can't do is logging on locally on my PC with my card (It
recognize the cardreader - icon on logon) but when I insert the Identity
card it says "The card supplied requires drivers that are not present on
this system."
also when I logon normally (name and password) and I try to connect an
network drive through "net use * \\server\share /cardspace" I receive a
message that the card is not recognized.

As a solution on the Internet I found "Customer re-installed ActivClient
with the Microsoft CAPI support." I have searched the Microsoft site
with no results.

My question is now: Where can I find the software an how can I install
it in order to logon locally on my PC with my eID card?

My configuration is as follows:
XP Pro with SP3
card reader: ACR38U
middleware: Belgium Identity Card 3.5 - beid-runtime-3.5-364 - pkcs#11

thank you, gabriël

You say you have a "card reader" and middleware. I presume you mean Smart Card Reader and
Smart Card Middleware.

You can't logon with a Smart Card unless the PC is a Domain participant and setup up to
perform cryptographic logons.

Depending on the capabilities of the Smart Card you have, you may be able to; sign email,
encrypt email and gain access to PKI protected web sites.
