I don't see any reason the solution above would not work in Vista.  I see the same folder structure and registry entries on Vista. 

If you are not familiar with the registry, here is a very detailed instruction set on how to delete entries:  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/136393

Be sure to use the export option before deleting entries in order to back them up.

This does help.

Now that you've pointed this out I've seen the same behaviour in the CAPI2 Event Viewer log file. My Windows 7 clients have been trying to access two URL's at the domain http://crl.microsoft.com/

None of the posts I had seen on this had mentioned the need for this path.

Thanks,

Michael

hi

Here's a basic definition for CRL in general terms. You can search Google using "Certificate Revocation List" and find a lot more information.

it could also be that direct X is looking for some updated drivers

what happens is that your browser is checking for provoked certificates , is perfectly normal and safe , its to keep you safe

have a nice day

ps for some further info

    So in other words you have no idea of the problem but you do have the same canned answer that I see posted here repeatedly.

    Fix Event ID 11 in CAPI2

    Event ID 11 CAPI2 fix :

    You will need to have "Administrator privileges" to do this part.

    Open "My Computer" then right click on the hard drive that has Windows installed on it (usually C drive).

    Left click "Properties".

    Left click "Disk Cleanup" tab.

    If prompted "choose what files to clean up", select "Files from all users on this Computer", UAC (User Access Control) may display a prompt, so left click "Ok".

    Scroll down and left click "Temporary Files".

    Click on "Ok" to continue.

    Download this:

    http://www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3/static/trustedr/en/authrootstl.cab

    When prompted to Open, Save or cancel, simply left click "save".

    Once the cab file has been downloaded, open it and inside you'll see "authroot.stl".

    Drag this from the archive and place it on your desktop.

    Right click "authroot.stl" and left click on install.
