I'm forced to encrypt and decrypt the same files with several different versions of Windows. I selected dsCrypt because its simplicity allowed me to build scripts around this tiny applet. The scripts can enter complex passwords directly into dsCrypt, or open a text editor and "Send Keys" so the password is visible, ready to be copied and pasted. The scripts are on a few hidden flash drives. They are always seperate from any operating system. For added protection, the scripts are also encrypted with simple passwords I can remember. Until recently, I've never had a problem with dsCrypt. I cannot explain what's happening. When I enter my simple passwords to decrypt the scripts I get "data is invalid." I keep several decrypted copies of these scripts in a very remote location. If not for these hidden decrypted copies my scripts (and all their complex passwords) would be lost forever! I know this problem seems completely impossible. I can hardly believe it myself. The scripts create insanely complex passwords that work perfectly with dsCrypt. The simple passwords I enter into dsCrypt manually are being rejected as "data is invalid." I don't want to use two encryption apps. Unless someone can explain why this is happening, I'll be forced to use a different encryption app just for the simple passwords I use to manually decrypt my scripts.
