BUG? -> cryptographic key couldnt be generated on this computer! by Eminence on 08-30-2006 at 02:27 AM

Hello, i have a problem on one of my maschines.
The only difference between them is that one is WinXPpro and the other one is WinXPmediacenter ...both have the same WLM-version and the latest msgpluslive-version running. But on the winXPmce i can't use the encryption-feature :(
I get the following error:
cryptographic key couldnt be generated on this computer!

But i have used the encryption before WLM/MPL with the old MSN/MP-Combo...any ideas?

MP!L uses a new encryption algorithm, so you may need to install the latest version of the Windows Cryptography libraries.

...and what is the exact solution?
I never have this problem before, but i read here, that there are many users with that kind of problem, if they want to use the crypt-funktion...

What have i to do to fix this?

The Microsoft website should have a redist package for the latest Cryptography libraries. That and Windows Update are always good places to start.
