Guest jedi-josh Posted September 9, 2007 Posted September 9, 2007 I am unable to reinstall or update DirectX at all, which is increasingly becoming a hassle. According to the DXError log, it's because my cryptographic services isn't running. I can't enable them in my "services.msc". How do I fix my crypto service problem so that I can get DirectX to reinstall?
Guest Newbie Coder Posted September 9, 2007 Posted September 9, 2007 Re: DirectX and Crypto Service problems Josh, What version of DirectX are you trying to install & are you using the redistributable? What is the error message you get when trying to start Ctyptography? What is the error in the event log? START | RUN | Type 'eventvwr.msc' (without quotes) & press ENTER Here's an article which 'maybe' of some use too: http://www.tech-pro.net/howto_014.html -- Newbie Coder (It's just a name) "jedi-josh" <jedijosh@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:6F5B13FD-E587-4031-A41B-ABE2F2E0B98B@microsoft.com... > I am unable to reinstall or update DirectX at all, which is increasingly > becoming a hassle.

Guest jedi-josh Posted September 9, 2007 Posted September 9, 2007 Re: DirectX and Crypto Service problems I've tried installing 9 and 10 both, using both the web-install and redistrib versions. All times I've tried have given me the same crypto-svc error. When I go to manually start it, either via "services.msc" or the command prompt, i get "error 126: service could not be started". This has been an ongoing problem. I've been through re-registering every .dll listed in your link, and it still hasn't worked. At this point, how, if at all, is it possible to just reinstall the crypto-service from scratch?

Guest jedi-josh Posted September 9, 2007 Posted September 9, 2007 Re: DirectX and Crypto Service problems EDIT: In Event Viewer, it says that the crypto service cannot start because "The specified module cannot be found".
