[Guest]

I have the following error in my Aps Event Log and am unable to find answer

ICOM+ Services was unable to initialize due to a failure in the system API shown below. This is often caused by a shortage of system resources on the local machine
CryptAcquireContex
Process Name: dllhost.ex
The serious nature of this error has caused the process to terminate
Error Code = 0x80090017 : Provider type not defined

This is generally caused by incorrect permissions/security.
Run the Regmon tool from www.sysinternals.com and look for "access denied"
when starting the above service.

NOTE: I have read that giving Everyone permissions (Full Control) to the
following reg keys has resolved this issue:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Cryptography\Defaults\Provider Types\Type 001
HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Cryptography\Defaults\Provider Types\Type 001

Look at:

www.jsiinc.com/SUBN/tip6900/rh6951.htm

it describes how to clean up a damaged COM+ catalog in Windows 2000.
It might be related to your problem. I had a problem with the COM
service not starting which isn't exactly what your describing. Th
solution for me was to re-install the COM+ Windows Component. For me
was able to use just the last 3 steps of the described procedure t
allow me to re-install COM+. I'm not sure how my COM+ subsystem go
corrupt in the first place. I doubt it wa a virus
