Title: problem with Gpg4win
Post by: demodem on October 18, 2012, 06:36 pm

Hi all,

Can some one please advise on what may be wrong....... I have Gpg4win installed but there seems to be no program available to encrypt information. I have only got Kleopatra for managing certificates...........can anyone advise on what to do..................I thought I'd have a program to encrypt text.

Thanks

Just ditch the damn thing, and use GPG4USB instead. You'll save yourself a world of grief.  http://gpg4usb.cpunk.de/index.html

I give you the same advice as Nightcrawler. I have personally learned both and I vote for GPG4USB all times.

You can write, encrypt and decrypt messages in the clipboard available in GPG4Win.

I use the program but found that GPA a part of the package did not instal by default and it is what I use so try reisntalling and make sure gpa is selected
