Well, I've discovered the world of online flying. Went and bought a new headset and everything for it.

I go run Squawkbox...the program that connects me...and it says it can't start. Ok...no biggy. I diagnose the problem, a couple DirectX things are missing or something. So I go to download the latest version. And this is where my major problem is.

I can't for the life of me...run the setup. I get so far, and it tells me it can't trust a cabinet file. The exact message was this:

"A cabinet file necessary for installation cannot be trusted. Please verify the cryptographic services are enabled and the cabinet file certificate is valid"

Now how the heck do I do that?

There's no way around it either. I have got to figure this out.

From where did you download the DX file and what version? It might be a corrupt download file
Is your video card capable of supporting the version you are trying to download?

From the Microsoft website...that didn't work, I tried getting a copy from Ares, and I tried getting a copy from uh...softwarepatch.com or something like that.

Each and every one of them gave me the exact same error.

I tried it on my laptop and it worked perfectly fine...is it possible an anti-spyware or anti-virus program is giving me the message? Hence the "can't be trusted".

You need to enable cryptographic services in windows ......

You need to enable cryptographic services in windows ......

And I do that how?

If I could figure out how to get my system to trust this cabinet file...I think I'd be set.
