    Re: crypt32 event id 8 errors

    Was there a solution for this? I've just started seeing the same message in
    Event Viewer. I believe at the time the error is logged, I was on the
    internet at a beta site viewing messages.

    Did you try any of the diagnosis I suggested? ; }

    If you don't like those suggestions try these instead:

    <title>Event ID 8 is logged in the Application log</title>
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/317541

    (Live Search for
    crypt32 site:support.microsoft.com
    )
