    IE 7 saying "Cryptographic service not working"
    « on: May 13, 2008, 01:34:54 AM »
    I use Windows XP Service pack 2 and IE 7 and am having a problem viewing webpages that require logins or passwords, ie., bank websites, email, etc.  I downloaded firefox and everything works fine. 
    I tried to reinstall IE 7 and even downloaded IE 8 Beta but when I try to run them I get a message saying
    "Setup could not verify the integrity of these files.  Make sure the cryptographic service is running on this computer.

    Could you tell me what might be wrong with IE?
    This has happened before, but within a couple of days, the problem seemed to resolve itself???
    Thanks!

    Go Start>Run, type in:
    services.msc
    Click OK.
    Find Cryptographic Services in the list, and see if it's listed as Started, and its startup type is set to Automatic.

        I checked Cryptographic services under "services msc" and yes it is started and runs automatically.

            * If the Cryptographic Services service was already running, stop the service by clicking the Stop button. Using Windows Explorer, locate the folder C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 and rename it to something like xcatroot. Now restart Cryptographic Services by clicking the Start button, and try IE again.
            * If same error still occurs, stop the Cryptographic Services service again. Open a command prompt window (click Start, Run, type cmd and hit Enter) and then type the following commands:

        regsvr32 softpub.dll
        regsvr32 wintrust.dll
        regsvr32 initpki.dll
        regsvr32 dssenh.dll
        regsvr32 rsaenh.dll
        regsvr32 gpkcsp.dll
        regsvr32 sccbase.dll
        regsvr32 slbcsp.dll
        regsvr32 cryptdlg.dll

        Restart Cryptographic Services by clicking the Start button again. Try IE.

          Renaming the folder to xcatroot did not work.  I enter the commands but when I when to restart the cryptographic service, I got an "Internet explorer script error"
          Line: 1
          Character: 1
          Error: Unknown
          Code: 0
          URL: res://C:\WINDOWS\System32\mmcndmgr.dll/views.htm
          Do you want to continue running scripts on this page?
          I entered yes & no and it still would not start.

            Go Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools, and click on IE (no add-ons).
            Same thing happens?

              Some IE add-on is messing up things. To find out, which one....
              Open IE normally, go Tools>Internet Options>Advanced tab, and click "Reset" button.
              This will disable all add-ons.
              Restart computer. See, if you can access sites in question.
              If you do, start enabling add-ons, one-by-one, restarting IE each time, and checking troubled sites access.
              Do so, until you'll find the culprit.
