Hi Abrahamahartman,
The steps to solve the problem of PGP desktop during the encryption and decryption are as follows:
1) Click 'Start', Go to 'All Programs', select 'Accessories'
2) Right click on the command prompt, select 'Run as administrator'
3) In the window, type 'cdProgram Files(x86)PGP CorporationPGP Desktop'
4) If the user wants to decrypt, type the command 'pgpwde –decrypt –passphrase "passphrase" –disk 0'
5) If the user wants to encrypt, type the command 'pgpwde –encrypt –passphrase "passphrase" –disk 0'
6) The request successful message will be displayed on the screen
