Hi

Your Cryptographic Service is most likely running fine, renaming or deleting
the Catroot2 folder is most likely what you need to do to solve the problem.

Go to http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-us;326815

It describes how to check the Cryptographic Service, as well as how to rename
the Catroot2 folder.

To rename the Catroot2 folder, follow the steps 6 to 8 in the Resolution
section of above link (do a reboot first so the computer is "fresh"). Then
try to install the update again.

The link above is for SP1, but the Catroot2 problem is now also surfacing in
recommended/critical updates and not only for the SP1 upgrade.
