Greetings:

I have been having an issue on my Windows 2000 Professional System (w/ SP3),
where when I try to install updates, new software, or otherwise, my O/S
continually reports that it was unable to locate a valid digital signature
on the installation package.

I have read several articles in the Knowledge Base (269651 & 822798) that
suggest various ways of resolving this, including re-registering crypto
dll's, renaming edb.log files, and finally changing group policy to allow
such installations to silently suceed.

I do not want to and will not install unverified software. What can I do to
get the digital signature verification features to work properly again?
Though the software I am trying to install I KNOW is legitimate, in this day
and age of unrelenting security threats, overriding this feature would be a
demonstration in sheer idiocy. Also, this is not the first system I have
seen this problem on, but in this case I KNOW that all the installed
software is full-version (non-MSDN), and legitimate (though OEM media).

PLEASE HELP!!!!!

If yr refering to the MS digital sig. then I'm afraid that only means that
the supplier hs'nt paid MS oudles (£/$) to verify that the software is MS
compliant.
In real terms it means very little.
MCP?
