| CupHead | Something recently changed my permissions on the system registry and I can no longer load controls into Visual Basic (permission denied). This wouldn't be so bad, but I also can't send and receive from Outlook because of an OLE registration error. My best guess is that installing/uninstalling some problem ended up corrupting my permissions. Does anyone happen to know which ones need to be fixed and where I can set them? I tried using regedit to give my account full registry access, but that caused even more problems than having none for some reason. | December 18, 2003, 3:18 PM |
| Grok | Use RegMon from SysInternals to find the conflict. | December 18, 2003, 3:59 PM |
| CupHead | I tried and the keys were HKLM, but giving myself permissions to those keys didn't solve the problem. Decided to format and reinstall anyway. (This time I think I saved the CSB source. =P) | December 18, 2003, 6:40 PM |

A limited account definitely wouldn't have had write access to those keys. Oh, and you should make regular backups, too... | December 18, 2003, 6:41 PM |
| CupHead | Um... I was on a limited account and that was the problem. If I were running as Administrator, there wouldn't have been any conflicts. | December 18, 2003, 6:44 PM |

If I were running as Administrator, there wouldn't have been any conflicts. [/quote] In that case the fallback solution is simply to create a new account, not reformat the whole system. | December 18, 2003, 6:50 PM |
| CupHead | Been there, tried that. Same issues. | December 18, 2003, 6:52 PM |

| Adron | They are? How do you resolve them? | December 19, 2003, 1:03 AM |
| Skywing | [quote author=Adron link=board=2;threadid=4327;start=0#msg36290 date=1071795822] They are? How do you resolve them? [/quote] Boot to a WinPE CD, run ntbackup, extract the hive in question, replace the damaged version, reboot. | December 19, 2003, 1:24 AM |
