TaurArian ,

This much I knew already, teh error 0x8007f0da is mentioned in the subject
line (erroneously mistyped in the post), in fact I now know that I cannot
install ANY Windows updates or IE7, they all rely on Crypto Sevice for
validation before installing. Furthermore, there appears to be something
hinky which I can't isolate: after running System File Checker, some
applications began to fail and I had to backup a Ghost image form a couple a
days ago.

Does anyone know if Microsoft sent out a particularly problematical update
in the first weeks of October?

TIA
