Cryptographic service

[Dennis]

I am trying to install the patch for the worm virus on
Windows XP Home from the c drive, and I am getting a
message that the cryptographic service is not enabled. Do
you know how to enable this service? Thanks.

Hi Dennis I am getting the same message. Someone at

the microsoft hotline talked me through the process, but
it did not help. THe cryptographic service IS enabled,
but the same message appears again and again. THey are
supposed to call me back after looking into the matter.
If they get it resolved I will post back here.
