FFXIV Plugin Startup Failed

SilverWWA

Hello, I've been trying to get ACT for FFXIV working for some time now and keep getting an error message: 

FFXIV Plugin Startup Failed. System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.InvalidOperationException: This implementation is not part of the Windows Platform FIPS validated cryptographic algorithms.

I've tried to google it but can't seem to find this error anywhere else. Any help would be much appreciated

The FFXIV Plugin uses the MD5 algorithm and it seems like you have it disabled on your system.
