IMPORTANT: This article contains information about editing the registry.
Before you edit the registry, make sure you understand how to restore it
if a problem occurs. For information about how to do this, view the
"Restoring the Registry" Help topic in Regedit.exe or the "Restoring a
Registry Key" Help topic in Regedt32.exe.
SYMPTOMS
When you install personal certificates from a certificate server, you
can install and use only 16. If you install a 17th certificate, all the
certificates in your personal certificates list disappear, and the
functionality for all the personal certificates is lost.
RESOLUTION
WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that
may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot
guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry
Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
For information about how to edit the registry, view the "Changing Keys
And Values" Help topic in Registry Editor (Regedit.exe) or the "Add and
Delete Information in the Registry" and "Edit Registry Data" Help topics
in Regedt32.exe. Note that you should back up the registry before you edit
it. If you are running Windows NT, you should also update your Emergency
Repair Disk (ERD).
To work around this issue, use Registry Editor to delete personal
certificates in the following registry key until there are only 16 (or
fewer):
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\My\Certificates
Quit Registry Editor and then restart your computer. The remaining
certificates reappear in the list of your personal certificates.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the products listed at
the beginning of this article.
