CryptographicException Error

Chart FX was working fine for us up until today where it has now for some reason stopped working on our production server. Over this past weekend a Windows Update was installed (and now uninstalled) to the server. When we try to create a Chart FX control, nothing is generated on our webpage and we get the following error in our Event Viewer (Any Ideas??):

I fond the following in relation to this error:

As you can see from the stack, the error is coming from Forms Authentication:

at System.Web.Security.FormsAuthentication.Decrypt(String encryptedTicket)

Are you using forms authentication?

If so, take a look at the following KB article:

After a few days of trying to fix my problem, the solution was very simple. To get ChartFX working again, all i needed to do was STOP the ChartFX service from running as a windows service (under Administrative Tool/Services) .

Apparently, when the windows updates were installed and the server was rebooted, the ChartFX application service did not automatically start as observed by our server team. So since our server guy noticed this, decided to start the service manually.  With this running as an application service, apparently it was causing some sort of conflict/problems to our PSS running from IIS.

Why this caused us problems though, I have no clue... Anyone have any thoughts on why we experienced these issues??
