Having tried to apply the Blaster removal patch KB823980 I keep getting the
message I need to make sure the cryptographic services are running.
I have tried just about every solution for that from the MS Knowledge Base,
but no joy.
Yet when I go Control Panel->Admin tools etc. it tells me my cryptographic
services ARE running.
Can anyone help out here as this is really getting out of hand.
Thanks in advance.
 
Thanks Jupiter,
tried all this, was successful withrenaming catroot2, the
patch installed successfully.
However, after rebooting I got "A disk read error has
occured, press Ctrl-Alt-Del to restart".
The same keeps coming up and now the computer won't even
boot from the CD.
What more can I do?

Thanks.
