Crytographic Service

[Camelia]

I am trying to install the patch for the Blast worm. I
am getting an error message that reads: Setup could not
verify the integrity of the file Update.inf. Make sure
the Cryptographic service is running on this compter.

Can anyone help me?

Thank you.

Hello All,

When this "new" patch arrives, please tell us all. I also
can not update my computer due to this error.

Regards.

Hope this works for you:

Start/Run - type CMD.
At the prompt, type the below commands (Press ENTER after each line)

net stop cryptsvc
ren %systemroot%\system32\catroot2 oldcatroot2
net start cryptsvc

Now try the install again.
