Gord,
I was not able to continue the mmc process mentioned past *********** above.
That said, I would like to know what I did wrong.
I did open (via Start>Run) certmgr.msc
In that utility, I was able to drag my certificate to
the "Trusted" folder and it is now "Trusted" when I look at the "Certificate path"
Thanks Gord (if you have the time what did I do wrong with mmc?)
