Vista - Microsoft`s Silent Trusted Root Authority update is Invalid?

Welcome to the "club with no answers" Submarine. Somebody out there MUST be able to help! I'm a born optimist.

As this error only occurs on one user on my computer, I think it is a local error and nothing to blame MS for (maybe, maybe). On this link other people are discussing the same error.

Thanks for the link. Lots of reading to thoroughly wade through. [On a quick look there appears no answer - yet.]
Guess it's comforting to know that one is not alone wondering "why it is so?"

So here is the latest development.
Finally I managed to get this error not only for the regular user at startup, but also for myself as admin, and this when the computer was up an running since hours. This made me suspect the Media Player and I disabled the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service - WMPNetworkSvc. The error message disappeared!

So why did this happen? A conflict? I rather suspect that disabling the service prevented Vista from either identifying a need to check this trusted root certificate or prevented the start of the update service itself.

Anyone having an idea what on earth is going on here?

Good work. Keep at it Submarine. I'm surprised that no one else is "interested" in offering help & suggestions.

JMH.....It might be because we all keep coming to this post to see if anyone DOES have an answer..I know I do...although I have not struck anything like this particular issue..I'm sure it's only a matter of time before a customer complains of the same problem. Soooo.....now you know why a lot of us troll though the postings,offering a little help to people we feel are capable of fixing their own system on the way. I like to keep up with the latest issues that affect the modern PC,apart from the PEBKAC and ID 10 T , of course. roflmao.

Well thanks tasaholic, that was helpful. We are indeed all waiting for a solution.

Thanks, the solution worked fine. But I still wonder why MS is not updating it

I wonder if it could be related to DRM?
