couple of weeks back i had the blaster virus on my pc.. i got the fixblast tool from symantec and then installed the ms patch. so after that i was okay, i had some probs installing the drivers for an adsl modem i got and so used the system restore to wind the system back.. and once i got online after that..the blaster virus cam up again..i guess its because i didnt turn off system restore while applying the ms patch ayes?

anyways.i thought no worries..jus use the fixit again and then apply the patch again..the fixit worked okay but when i went to install the patch again i got this message

" setup could not verify the integrity of the file update.inf. make sure the cryptographic service is running on this computer "

i couldnt use the system restore again because ive changed the letters on my drives just recently

any ideasssss pleaseeee thanks

170652 2003-08-26 07:53:00 I got the same message when trying to install the patch on a friends PC from a floppy. I followed the advice here (support.microsoft.com) and step 8 finally fixed it. Start with the first suggestion though.

Note: Even though the knowledge base article is for installing SP1, the same troubleshooting process applies.
