CryptAcquireContext failed. Error 0x57

On a production db of over 100 GB, i am getting the below error freqently and i have to restart my server as it becomes dead.

[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]CryptoAPI function 'CryptAcquireContext' failed. Error 0x57: The parameter is incorrect.

Alias: DBDest [07-07-16 17:14:04]

Please advise what is the cause of this problem/error and how to resolve this.

Can you tell us what you are doing when this error occurs? Anything to help isolate the cause of this issue will be helpful.

Can you also describe your setup? Are you running SQL Server 2005? 2000? What service pack?

Thanks,

jkh
