I was having problems with windows 2000 the other day. I
ran fast recovery. After I did, the encyprtion on my IE6
reverted to 56bit encryption. Of course, when I tried to
run the 128bit upgrade nothing happened as quote unquote
128bit upgrade patch was already in-system. What can I do
to fix this issue? I need 128bit encryption on several
sites and their uses. HELP!
Thanks for any and all help

Encryption Pack Installation May Not Work If User GUID Is
Too Long
After you install the Windows 2000 High Encryption Pack
and it appears to succeed, any program that relies on 128-
bit security (such as Microsoft Internet Explorer) may
still report 56-bit security in use rather than 128-bit
after you reboot the computer.

Problems with 128-Bit Encryption Pack After Uninstalling
Service Pack 1
If you uninstall Windows 2000 Service Pack 1 (SP1) from a
computer that has Windows 2000 High Encryption Pack (128-
bit) installed, the encryption may be reduced to 56-bit.
