Can anyone tell me how to get the Cryptographic Services back?

It does not show up under services at all.

We have run sfc /scannow and it did not help.
We re-registered all the dll files for the service and this did not help.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

running windows XP Pro

Thanks

Cryptographic Service Error!
http://www.updatexp.com/cryptographic-service.html
Open a Notepad, customize or minimize to the taskbar as you will need it
later for this step to copy the error message on it.
Open a run command and type in:
eventvwr.msc click [OK] you will get the Event viewer control Panel.
click on each of these:
Application
System
Security
Look in the right Pane/window for error message with red (X) or Yellow
exclamation mark /!\ , double click each one to get more info about the
causer.
On the Event error properties message you will see:
Up Arrow
Down arrow
Two pages
Click on the two pages to copy the error message then bring up the Notepad
you opened earlier and right click on the first line and select Paste from
the list, this will paste the error message on a Notepad.
Please don't duplicate the error message one of each kind will be sufficient.

Unable to varify the integrety of the UPDATE.FYI file. Check to see if
cryptographic services are turned on. This is the first sign that something
was wrong.
when checking services cryptographic services do not show at all. ?
ran sfc /scan now but that did not fix anything.
will get the info from event viewer and send it asap.

Thanks
Danny
