Hi Chris,
You could try the following which was posted by Jupiter Jones [MVP] and
which resolved the problem related to cryptographic services for some
people.

1. Perform Disk Clean-up checking all boxes except "Compress old
files"
Start/All Programs/Accessories/System Tools/Disk Clean-up

2. Go to Internet Options in the Control Panel:
Delete Cookies
Delete Files (check box "Delete all offline content")
Clear History

3. Reboot, login to an Administrator account.
Double click My Computer.
Double click C drive.
Double click Windows file.
Double click System32 file.
Right click catroot2, click rename, type "catroot2old"
ENTER
Otherwise:
Start the Administrative Tools utility in Control Panel.
Double-click Services.
Right-click Cryptographic Services, and then click Properties.
Click Automatic for Startup type, and then click Start.

4. If Cryptographic Services is already set to Automatic, disable it,
reboot, then go back and set to Automatic.
Reboot

5. Start/Run
Type "msconfig" ENTER
Select "Normal Start-up"
Click OK, follow prompts and reboot

6. Start/Run
Type "cmd" ENTER

Close the box and install the patch.
