Security Update CD for Win. XP

[Paul Vive]

I have tried to download the Security Service Pack 1
online and I have tried to load it from the Security CD.
In each case it refuses to complete the load and I get an
error message about "Cryptographic Service provider". How
do I load or install the CSP?
