gpg should be installed by default. If it is not install the packet "gnupg"!
Now try to enter "gpg" at the prompt only. This should bring up a message like "type your message!".
You can leave the program with Ctrl + D. If you still get an error copy all line involved and post them here.

I installed gnupg and then i entered gpg at the prompt. After "type your message" it read
gpg: processing message failed: eof

Thanks. While I am hoping for further help, can you solve my other problem. I cannot download a website video. This is the error msg

Error loading stylesheet. RSL http://media.mtvnservices.com/globa... failed to load. Error #2046

Well, your "gpg --fingerprint" should work now.
