Hello, I have a user who is getting the following error in Visual Stuido 2010 Express on their Vista system. Running Visual Studio 2010 results in the message "Not part of Windows platform FIPS cryptographic algorithms". The local policy System cryptography: Use FIPS compliant algorithms for encryption, hashing and signing has been disabled but the error still shows. Is there any other setting that would affect this? For context, here are the steps taken in Visual Studio: Lauch application Select New Project Click OK At far right side click on Toolbox Choose Button and close Toolbox Click in Form1 box to place button Double click on button Underneath Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Type: msgbox In between () type: Hello World including the quotes Press the F5 And the error will show up
