There is an opensource software called 'Smart Card Manager' which is referenced on as an alternative to using ActivClient 6.2 (AKA for those of us that can't access a CAC secured site to download a program designed to enable the use of a CAC card needed for said site).
Went to Troubleshoot Program and said It work in earlier versions of windows and choose Vista Service pack 2 Then I ran VCredist Then Active client with the Troubleshot compat like above. I unpacked the Zip File I ran NIPRDODCerts_v4_0 went to Troubleshoot Campat. All you have to do is follow the steps at the website below. You dont need CAC Card Software to use NMCI Webmail on Windows 7. Hello sherretz, I believe your problem is with the antiquated version of Active Card Gold.
