Validation failed for C:\windows\SYSTEM32\vsinit.dll you probably are missing a necessery root certificate
Case:
I use Zone Alarm as firewall on my Windows XP SP2. When the system boots, it displays a window with the message:
Validation failed for C:\windows\SYSTEM32\vsinit.dll you probably are missing a necessery root certificate
The file is present on my disk.
Fix:
- Disconnect from internet 😉
- Close Zone Alarm
- Uninstall Zone Alarm
- Reboot
- Rename
C:\windows\SYSTEM32\vsinit.dll
asvsinit.dll.old
(or delete it) - Install Zone Alarm
- Reboot
It should be OK 😉
