HELP. I stuck. The latest worm virus has thrown my
computer into a mess. I am having trouble loading the
patch to McAfee. The latest DAT file says its there, but
when I go to clean the files, nothing is found. So then
I go to the internet and for a few mintues its ok, then I
get the worm which shuts my computer down. I realized
that I need the new Service Pack 1A. I was able to get
tha, but whne i try to load it, it gives me an error that
says that my CRYPTOGRAPHIC SERVICE must be running. I
check all is ok, but I still get an error when loading.
I did a search on here on this error, and said I needed
to try and restart my Service. Did that nothing. So
typed the folllowing on the RUN (CMD):

net stop cryptsvc
ren %systemroot%\system32\catroot2 oldcatroot2
net start cryptsvc


on the the second entry I get that ACCESS is
denied......what does this mean.....HELP....WHAT AM I
GOIGN TO DO...HWRE CAN I GET THE RIGHT HELP?

Yes I am also in search of a fix for this particular
problem. I have a friends (maybe ex?) computer that
required a reinstall of WinXP which was eventually
achieved after about 30 failures (don't know why 8-( ).

I have all the service pack stuff and every
critical/recommended update files on CD but when I try to
install I get the same message about 'Cryptography
Service needs to be running' even though it already is. I
am also unable to access Windows Update.

We need assistance and I am hoping that this is where to
get it.....any ideas??
