Hi Nicholas,

I tried everything on the post below but still, on every
attempt to install the patch, it gives me the same
message about making sure cryptographic service is
enabled. Do I have a corrupt file somewhere? Is there
some other problem? Is there a way I can replace the
cryptsvc file safely to see if that might solve the
problem?
