CryptoAPI Error

[charred102]

Hi,

I'm having a problem trying to get SVCD2DVDMPG to run. I am running Windows 2000 with SP4 and I have .NET framework v1.1 installed. After I install the program and try to run it, I get this error:
----------------------------------------------------------------
CryptoAPI cryptographic service provider (CSP) for this implementation could not be acquired.

at System.Security.Cryptography.RSACryptoServiceProvi der..ctor(Int32 dwKeySize, CspParameters parameters, BooleanuseDefaultKeySize)
at _S_VCD2DVDMPG.frmStub.Main(String[] args)

----------------------------------------------------------------

And there's an OK button, and if i click it it shuts down. I have tried un-installing it, then re-installing it, same problem. I have tried un-installing .NET framework v1.1 and re-installing that and it didn't work. And I have also tried un-installing .NET framework v1.1, then installing .NET framework v1.0, then installing v1.1 framework on top of that, and that didn't work either. I'm really out of ideas here. I don't know what's wrong. By the way, I also have Visual Studio 6 installed, could that be causing the problem? I have also been able to run other .NET framework enabled programs before no problem, it's just this one I can't seem to run. Thanks for your help.

Are you logging on as a member of the local administrators group? i.e do you have administrative privilages on your PC?

[charred102]

yup, logged in as administrator

is there some system service that MUST be enabled in order for this to work? because i have many unneeded services disabled

also, is there some registery entry I can change to enable what appears to have something to do with cryptography?

thanks.

I suspect the following would need to be enabled:

[charred102]

um, that's not in my list of services. I'm running Windows 2000 Pro SP4.

is that service on Windows XP only?

have other people who use Windows 2000 gotten this program to work?

is there a way i can add that service?

I have an update which should address this for you. Do you want to send me an email to try it out?

Did the new update solve your issue?
