running OpenSSL on Windows 32
Hi, I have successfully downloaded and compiled OpenSSL on my Windows machine.

I have the same problem when it comes to enter the Country Name for a request (-newreq). But worst is that the same behaviour occurs when I try to sign the issued certificates. As the first question when signing is Sign the certificate, I do not get any chance to sign my certificates. Does anyone have a hint where to search for the reason?

That could cause problems because the work around isn't enabled on WINNT because it isn't needed. What output does: openssl version -a give? Also try running dumpbin /imports libeay32.dll and see if the output contains FlushConsoleInputBuffer. Steve. -- Dr Stephen N.
