Yes the machine is an XP. And your solution worked for me. I can now
decrypt. The problem was selecting the prompt option when importing the
PFX.
Do you know what use the prompting option is for then?? Doesn't seem
like it is useful.

Thanks alot for your help Roger especially since it is the holiday
season.
Happy holidays and a great new year.

You are welcome Kevin.
The selection to have prompting as I understand it was built
into the design when they still thought that they could work
around the security context issues needed in order to allow
the winlogon context to interact with the desktop session.
It turned out they could not in the timeframe allow to finish
XP, and of course, by then this import feature was checked
in and would have needed to be re-rev'd.
As it is it just makes for stubbed toes, as you discovered.
