Hi Neil,
It sure is a big one! Number one on the list.
A close runner up since November last year is:
Method 4: Re-register DLL Files That Are Associated
With Cryptographic Services. We pulled that out of a
KB for an obscure error, and by December it was also
added to the Windows Update Site troubleshooter.
Cheers!
Jimmy.
| Disabling cryptographic services is a big one. A gaming magazine suggested
| it as a way of speeding up Windows XP but it also means you can't install
| signed software (like DirectX 9.0b). If you tweaked your services that
| would be the first thing to check.
