cryptographic errors - is windows genuine RRS feed

  • Question

  • I have tried the validation process using my firefox browser and it appears that the validation was successful for both windows and office; however, the blue "balloon" continues to appear in my toolbar whenever I turn my computer on saying that the copy is not genuine.
    My computer was my former work computer and has a volume license which should be genuine. I have not used the computer in over a year because the keyboard was damaged. I last updated to Windows Xp Service pack 2 and I am having a host of problems, including the inability to validate this copy.

    Here is the report from the MGA diagnostics, how do I get rid of the "computer might be at risk" notification and how to resolve this cryptographic error:

    Currently Windows is Genuine. The problem you’re experiencing is with the Cryptographic service on your computer. Cryptographic service is a standard service that runs under Windows XP and is used by Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA) to read the Digital Signatures of files on the computer. If the Cryptographic service have errors (as seen in your Diagnostic Report "Validation Status: Cryptographic Errors Detected") WGA cannot Validate a Genuine status.

     

     There is a very easy fix for this. Open Internet Explorer and type the following website in for the URL: http://www.microsoft.com/Genuine/diag/ .  Once you open please click the “Start Diagnostic" button. Click the “Resolve Now” button if/when the tool finds any issues.  The tool will, most likely, resolve the issue on its own or will provide you further instructions.

    Next try this should the above fail: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822798/en-us  

     

    I hope this has helped!
