I have had to add certs to two different places in Windows in order for
the them be found.

I added them using system32/certmgr -- but that is not enough. I have
found I also need to add them using the certificate control panel in
Internet Explorer. I use certs to sign documents in OpenOffice among
others. If you are finding that you cannot find certs you thought you
had added, try adding them in both of these places.
