Cannot request computer certificate.

Hi,

BTW, this is kind of a repost. I wouldn't normally do this but I am
panicing. I have already tried to call MS for technical support but the
operator would not transfer my call because it was almost 18:00. So now I
am stuck. I need to request a computer certificate for VPN server.
However, I get the the following error message:

The certificate request failed because of one of the following conditions:
-The certificate request was submitted to a Certification Authority (CA)
that is not started.
-You do not have the permissions to request certificates from the available
CAs.

It has got to be the second one. But how would I have lost permission? I
have gone absolutely balmy by granting myself and my PC full control to the
Computer and Enrollment Agent (computer) templates. Still not happening.
The CA can successfully request certificates from itself, but all remote PCs
fail, even DCs.

Why me?!! Please help!!
