Hi,
When I try to install the patch for wind xp pro I get a
message saying that the cryptographic services are not
running, and it can't validate the autnenticity of the
file it is trying to run. When I check the crypto
services they are running and I have restarted them and
it doesn't seem to help. Any suggestions?
 
Thanks I will try it

If you are using AOL as your ISP, you need to minimize your
AOL browser and launch Internet Explorer, then visit the Windows
Update web site while using Internet Explorer.

Try the following solution from the Windows Update Troubleshooter:

Select:
