Worm Patch Setup Error - HELP!

[Mary]

I receive the following message when I try to install the
patch for the new worm:

Setup could not verify the integrity of the file
Update.inf. Make sure the Cryptographic service is
running on this computer.

Can anyone help? I've made sure the cryptographic service
is running, but still can't install.
