Cryptographic Services Disabling Itself

Hello,

Cryptographic Services cannot seem to stay enabled. When I try to run
Windows Update (after verifying that Cryptographic Services is enabled),
error code 8024D00C pops up and halts the system checking process. And in
every single case, Cryptographic Services mysteriously disables itself in the
process.

I have checked that the following services are enabled and remain so
throughout:
- Background Intelligent Transfer Service
- Remote Procedure Call Service

I believe that the Cryptographic Services problem is also the cause for my
installation failure for DivX, since the infamous Windows Logos Testing error
comes up every time. However, I have not come across a knowledge article that
specifically covers the said issue thus far.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Sano,

See if this post by MVP Torgeir Bakken resolves the issue :

Automatic Updates must be enabled in the Services Console in addition to
the services you posted. BITS can be set at Manual, BTW.

MowGreen,

Thank you for your reply.

Unfortunately, taking the suggested action did not solve my problem. The
Cryptographic Services still disables itself upon running Windows Update.
Also, the DivX installation problem still persists.

I see that a lot of people experience various troubles with the
Cryptographic Services, but my problem seems to be quite unique.

Sano,

Somewhere in the back of my mind can recall that there was an issue with
certain versions of DivX that conflicted with SP2. If SP2 is installed,
try running the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility to remove all
installer configuration info from the failed DivX install.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301

Then run Torgeir's .bat file once more. Restart the system and go back
to WU to see if Cryptographic Services stays running.

I tend to believe that the attempted DivX installation is what has
caused this issue. You may need to run sfc /scannow to repair OS files
at this point : http://www.updatexp.com/scannow-sfc.html

I had realized that I am not also getting windows updates regularly though I
had set it up automatically. Now I realize that there is a problem wrt these
updates. I think the problem may be due to SP2 . But in my case even SP2
though downloaded successfully does not get installed with the error "setup
does not backup registry key". Probably it is also affecting WU as well and
conflicts with Cryptographic Service. My problem remains unresolved like
Sano's. I would appreciate if someone helps.
