Title: Decrypting keys from Windows 7 / 64 bit
Post by: matavz on June 26, 2011, 10:39 pm

I never had problems for 1 week decrypting till I had this buyer sending me a message that I wanted to decrypt, now I have this problem without asking me a passphrase after I clicked on decrypt.. I dont know what to do, is there something wrong with the code..? I need some help on this.

Thanks

I have this problem too, only with one vendor instead.
It behaves in a way that leads me to believe the vendor is using the wrong key to encrypt with.
I think its just error on their end because every other users messages works fine.

If you are saying it is not asking you your pass, it may just be your key is cached.

Can you restate it a bit clearer?

4) Decrypt a message sent from someone

    a) Again, like the public keys, people will post encrypted messages to you that you'll need to decrypt
          messages start with: -----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-----
          messages end with:   -----END PGP MESSAGE-----
    b) Again, hilight and copy the entire message block, with the begin and end line
    c) Right Click the red Kleopatra icon
    d) Select Clipboard, then click decrypt
    e) Enter the passphrase you used to create your key
        The decrypted data is now in your clipboard
    f) Open notepad or another text editor, and paste the contents of your clipboard (crtl+v , edit=>paste)

The problem in my situation begins in step E
It doesn't ask for my pass phrase
