not knowing the workings of reccerts.exe i could not tell
you if your "recovery" was entirely successful. however it
sounds like you probably have the correct public key in
place, but some other orginal component of efs is missing
or incorrect. since you contacted ms support for reccerts
in the first place how come they haven't helped you through
the issue to closure?
