All-Star 01-24-2005, 03:53 PM There's something (spyware, virus, whatever...) that's been going around recently unregistering the DLLs where the Trusted Root Certificates are stored (don't know what causes it yet, but I know how to fix it). Whenever you log into Windows, do you get a message saying something like: "Some files required to run Windows have been modified. Please insert the cd...", then, even if you do insert the CD, the next time you log in, the message returns?
