a problem with cryptographic?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.security (More info?)

You should also post this in the "Microsoft crypto" newsgroup. It sounds
like the operating system does not support the CSP [ not a built in one]
that was used with the certificate and therefore you need to install it as
provided from the manufacturer. If this is for a smart card the info below
may be pertinent from the link below. --- Steve

A Cryptography Service Provider (CSP). This facilitates communication
between the device and the smart card. The CSP must be signed by Microsoft,
or it will not work on Windows 2000. Typically, a CSP is provided by the
manufacturer of the Smart Card Reader-for example, a GemPlus reader would
use a GemPlus CSP, a Schlumberger CSP would use the Schlumberger CSP, and so
on.
