I'm trying to install XP SP2. It downloaded but when it tries to install it
errors out saying to make sure the cryptographis service is running. The
service was running but it seems that after I try and run the update the
service goes to a status of Stopping. Have to restart the machine to get the
service back to a started state. What the heck??? I just need to get SP2
installed.
