Title: Default Key No Longer Available?? Gpg4win help
Post by: psychopsilocin on August 04, 2011, 09:10 pm
My client works perfectly for about a week to two weeks, top. Then, out of the blue, when I start GPA, it tells me that my default key is no longer available. I lose all Public Keys stored on my keyring. I am unable to import any new keys. I cannot create a new secret key. I've installed other PGP clients and they cannot create new secret keys either. I wiped my computer in the past and managed to get it working on a fresh installation of windows. Don't know what the problem is.

Seems to me that some storing files are corrupt or missing..

I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling, using other pgp clients, nothing works. Wiping my computer and starting from a fresh install is the only thing that seems to work.

Do a search for *.acs, the default key format. (*.pgp is also common) You can import a private key just as easily as a public one.
