NOTE: The Air Force has no plans on providing an ActivClient
version that will work with Windows 8
If you are unsure
whether you have a 32 or 64 bit version, here is how to find out:
Windows 7, & Vista,
Right click Computer, select Properties. Under System, System type you
will see 32 or 64-bit.
XP, Right click
My Computer, select Properties. If it
doesn't say 64 bit, you have a
32 bit Operating System.

OTHER AIR FORCE SPECIFIC PROBLEMS:
Not
able to digitally sign / encrypt / decrypt emails using OWA?
Problem 1:
Receiving "Your CA was not recognized.
You should contact your CSA/LAN support team for assistance with DoD certs
on this computer. You can install the latest DoD certs from..." error message when attempting to access the
AF Portal
Information:
The Cross Cert remover tool removes certificates which cause the cross-certificate
chaining issue from Microsoft Local Computer and User Certificate stores.
This will prevent your certificate from appearing to be issued by roots
other than DoD Root CA 2 and being denied access to DoD websites.
Some computers may have the Federal Bridge
Certificate Authority's DoD Root CA 2 certificate installed. This conflicts
with the DoD's DoD Root CA 2. You must remove the DoD Root CA 2 signed
by the DoD Intermediate Root CA 1 in order to use the AF Portal with your
CAC.
.
Cure 1-1:
Follow the guidance in this
PDF, slide 15 has download links for the Cross Cert remover tool.
