After being installed SP2 from SP1, all the function keys(win, ctrl, alt,
....) malfunctions, the items windows become empty when open Administrative
Tools->Services, and it shows "Setup could not verify the integrity of the
file Update.inf. Make sure the Cryptographic service is running on this
computer." when I try to install Windows Installer 3.1. What can be the
problem please?
Thanks in advance.

BTW, do I need to install SP2 prior to installing SP3?

SP 1 is the only requirement for installing SP3. SP 3 contains all
updates since SP 1 but requires a "file" / "setting" that only came in
SP 1 so as to install.
From: Elliot on
that means I can directly upgrade to SP3 from SP1?
