As I said, the first link I posted, which you complained about, tells you
EXACTLY how to do that. If the instructions in that link didn't work for
you, please tell us what the results are, e.g. you tried everything on that
list, and X happened or didn't happen. If you had tried everything on that
list, you would now be able to tell us that your computer has all the
relevant certificates, and we would then know that the problem has nothing
to do with restoring deleted certificates as you still seem to believe. We
could also rule out a number of other dependencies on file checking besides
certificates, and move towards the real cause and solution.
I thought you said in a previous post that you had fixed the problem, and
pointed to a page that suggested you might have re-installed some MS patch
or another.

Phone support for problems caused by MS patches [which you blamed at times]
is absolutely free. What more could you possibly want? Which other vendors
do this for you? You might be charged if the problem was not due to a MS
patch.

Paranoia and FUD. The MS KB is the same one the paid MS support technicians
use.
