re: windows update not working Thursday, August 14, 2003 at 7:28 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by jennied (2 messages posted) when I tried this, I got this message: "the service cannot be started either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it." Is this why I'm getting the install error? How do I restart the cryptographic service ? I already tried registering all those separate dll files as suggested by another user. It said they were successfully installed, but no luck starting cryptsvc.
