Starting from Windows2000 SP3, you do not need a modified advapi32.dll
anymore. If I remember correctly, you must restart your system in debugging
mode and then attach a kernel debugger to your CSP. If these two conditions
are met, advapi32 will not check the signature of your CSP.

P.S. to start your system in debug mode, modify your boot.ini file by adding
a /debug switch, for instance

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000
Professional Debug" /fastdetect /debug /sos
