I found the Event Viewer in the Computer Managment console. There was an
error (many of them) that had this message:
"The Cryptographic Services service terminated with the following
error:Cryptographic Services is not a valid Win32 application."
What can cause this? How do I fix it? Help!
thanks,
Larry
