installing xp service pack 1

[Bob]

While installing SP1, the update stopped and I got the
message "Setup could not verify the integrity of the file
update.inf. Make sure the cryptographic service is
running on this computer".

How do I check this and assuming it is not running, what
do I do to correct the situation?

Thanks, Bob
