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

    Hi confuseduser,

    Thanks for using the Answers Forum.

    "I get error message: Device/HarddiskVolume1\Windows\System32\drivers\mchInjDrv.sys is the cause.

    I looked around on the Internet and it could be a Rootkit and it could be Malware.  What do I do now.  I really don't even know, what it all means."

    I suggest downloading and running the Malicious Software Removal Tool.

    I also suggest updating your anti-virus and running a full scan.

    You may also want to do a free online to be thorough.

    The Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool checks computers running Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Windows Server 2003 for infections by specific, prevalent malicious software—including Blaster, Sasser, and Mydoom—and helps remove any infection found. When the detection and removal process is complete, the tool displays a report describing the outcome, including which, if any, malicious software was detected and removed.

    To Alll,

    I am having this same problem on Windows Server 2008 64 bit. The event ID Error 11 Source=Microsoft-Windows-CAPI2 also showed up on May 26th. It would be nice if Microsoft could help us resolve this since for me this erro happens every minute. I have tried various things and nothing has fixed it yet.  

    Everyone from Microsoft so far has added something to try to this forum and its all been a waste of time. What does this have to do with Malware Chris? Microsoft Engineers please help us resolve this Application Error 11 Source=Microsoft-Windows-CAPI2  in our event logs. 

    Thanks
