"Padding is invalid and cannot be removed" error ASP NET 2.0

I have every error message my webpages product logged and emailed to me automatically.


I get an exception message quite a lot, not relating to any of the coding I have written though, more to do with ASP NET itself as it is generated by the ScriptResource.axd file.


For example

Mesage is something like


"Padding is invalid and cannot be removed" and it talks about the Cryptography hander.


Doing a google search, someone else had a similar problem due to different machine keys on a web farm.


Does discount asp run via a web farm? Any thoughts?

Looking at setting the machine key in web.config.


Hopefully this error is only occuring due to Googlebot and the like.

Thanks!. Disabled viewstate on one of my pages as it wasn't required and was causing a few automated error emails.
