Is that patch readily available? Can you provide a URL? What version of Windoze (or MacOS) were you using?
Linux ;-) Windows 2000 sp2 Brain damage... the patch is to use 128-non-export certs in old IE.

Ooh. Hmmm. I didn't see that. I wonder if that is due to different Windoze security settings, or different software versions, or ??
It's the same window as k)'s first window. It's the title of that window.

I wonder if I mis-transcribed that phrase "Collection address". Maybe it was "Collection password"?
It says:
If the above button does not work, please navigate to https://secure.comodo.net/products/!SecureEmailCertificate_Collec2. Your Collection Password is: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

You mentioned "Certificate Manager"-window twice?
