Control panel, administrative tools, component services, services (local),
right-click cryptographic services, properties, start-up type, change to automatic.

Ann;
"""Cryptographic Services:
Provides three management services: Catalog Database Service, which
confirms the signatures of Windows files; Protected Root Service, which adds
and removes Trusted Root Certification Authority certificates from this
computer; and Key Service, which helps enroll this computer for certificates.
If this service is stopped, these management services will not function
properly. If this service is disabled, any services that explicitly depend on
it will fail to start."""
That's what it is!

Go to Start
RUN

regsvr32 wintrust.dll
[enter]

Additional advice from a message posted by MVP Kelly Theriot:
If that doesn't completely solve the issue, run this script:
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/regs_edits/xp_cryptofix.vbs

If that doesn't help run the edit on line 288 - Restore CryptSvc
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

Why can't I download updates?
