No it's a home workstation. I was angry before which is why I wrote in Caps. I said in my original message, if whoever sees my post and sends a FAQ, don't do it! So what happened? This carey person sends me the lazy answer, FAQ! Which in turn DID NOT answer my question.
Anyway, like I siad in my message I have successfully installed my certificate in the personal store and it has been accepted. My problem now, is that I am having a difficult time on how the Data Recovery Agent is installed.
