re: Error 1406 Friday, February 25, 2005 at 7:00 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Bryan (1 messages posted) Okay, I cracked the coded. After spending about 4 hours just trying to install the drivers for my usb bluetooth device, I started trying everything. It kept giving me the 1406 message saying that I wasn't authorized to modify the KEY blah blah blah. So I decide to make a new user on the computer, named "Admin" and gave it administrative level just like my other account had. Then I logged on to the Admin account and installed the software without a stitch. Then I switched back to my account and deleted Admin. The software still works fine. (Of course you shouldn't do a single user install) ALSO, renaming your account to "Admin" will not work. You have to actually make a new one so that your kernel dirs will be named Admin.
