Hi, I get this error in the last few weeks and I am not sure, whether I should do something about it. I went to TechNet, Event ID 11 Automatic Root Certificates Update Configuration, but I would need something simpler that I can follow. Confuseduser P.S. Exact error message is below: -

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

    Hello To ALL,

    Still have the same problem. The date is not the issue. Root certificate installed as per Debbie did not work. My license is genuine. Is there another place where we can find an answer?

    Thank you.

    I had the same problems you all had, gosh what happened with me was that i recently did some hardware changes to my machine and noticed my DATE has been changed to January 1, 2002... so with the improper date no wonder the security was kicking in. Luckily i spoted this when i was looking into the event viewer. Good luck to everyone if this wasn't also the case.

    Well I have read everything on the internet that I could find about this and still no one is able to resolve. It seems lots of people are having this issue and no resolution yet. Anyone who has resolved this please post on how you did.
