I have to disagree - this is not a DoD problem. My personal desktop - which
is running XP - was not issued by the government and has never been in their
possession. However, XP allowed me to set up the reader and drivers and is
working with no gliches using my DoD issued smart card. This has to be a
Vista problem - I downloaded the drivers for another reader onto my laptop
seems to be working. But not allowing the website to see my certificate.
Vista is telling me that it doesn't have enough information about the issuer.
Sounds like a security setting....????
