Cryptographic service?

[muppet]

When I try and install some of the "Critical Updates" I
get this message.

Setup could not verfy the integrity of the file
Update.inf. Make sure the Cryptographic service is
running on this computer.

What should I do?

The update is only compatible with this installed. I had
the same problem.
