Default need help restoring certificates

i've been having a problem running a zonealarm installation program - it
gives me validation errors. their forum gives instructions for dealing with
this but in my case they don't solve the problem. i've downloaded a
certificate from verisign called getrootcert.cer but when i install it i get
the following error from the certificate manager import wizard: "an error
has occurred when adding a certificate to the intermediate certification
authorities store."

i tried a utility called rootsupd.exe that the ZA forum recommends but that
doesn't solve the problem either. generally how do i deal with "certificates
gone bad"? thanks for any help.

Gary,

According to Google, you are the only one who has posted that message on the
internet. Further, the MS Knowledge Base has no information on that error
either. There are some articles on "certification authorities store" that
may contain some help--search the KB at the URL in my signature.

I was having the same problem...

You must uninstall ZoneAlarm like the above post says to.

I tried rootsupd.exe and also tried getca.verisign.com, but neither
worked.

So I downloaded Internet Explorer 6 sp 1 again, and reinstalled it.
That way
i got my root certificates back, and now everything is working fine!
