Hiya and welcome

I've moved this to WinXP forum for more response

Are you still having this problem? If so, did you check in Services that Cryptographic is running? I assume you have, after what you mentioned at the end.

There is this, but you may want to create a Restore point, just in case:

Kudos and thanks a bunch! Your first suggestion, rename EDB.log file, did the deed. As a test I installed two critical updates that did not install before and then installed SP2 using the Windows, XP Service Pack 2 CD. All went well without a hitch. Thanks again. As the final action in my update I'll send in a contribution to this site! Wow! wHAT A BARGAIN!
