Couldn't acquire cryptographic context

Hi Manprit,
I can't recall what the original cause of this problem was, but it could
be an unrelated falw in Windows that causes the user to be denied access to
the computer's machine key-store. You might want to check your access rights
to this folder:
%allusersprofile%Application DataMicrosoftCryptoRSAMachineKeys (On
Windows 2000... NT has this in the registry somewhere)
--Make sure you can read and write to this folder and reboot, then you
should be able to get your cryptographic context whenever the application
needs to generate a key.
Please let me know if this doesn't work.
Regards,
Brian Donahue
