If that fails: Open regedit and go to the following key.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion

Now look in the right pane and see if there is a sub-key there named
"VersionNumber" If the "VersionNumber" sub-key exists, delete it.

switch it off with:

"fipsalgorithmpolicy"=dword:00000000

(For Windows 2003 and XP only... Windows 2000 does not fully support FIPS and so does not have this key.)
