Hi,
I have made the ATL COM component which uses CriptoAPI. The component is developed in Windows 2000 and is functional.
When i use the same component in Windows 98 the CriptoAPI function "CryptAcquireContext" fails???
I have used the function is following way

if(!CryptAcquireContext(&hCryptProv,NULL, MS_ENHANCED_PROV, PROV_RSA_FULL, 0))
{
         if(!CryptAcquireContext(&hCryptProv,NULL, MS_ENHANCED_PROV, PROV_RSA_FULL, CRYPT_NEWKEYSET))
         {
               return E_FAIL;
          }
}

Please help me out.....
Thank You
