re: no access to register key while installing mediaplayer 11 Friday, December 26, 2008 at 9:02 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by appleoddity (2369 messages posted) When you select the key that you can not access, click "edit" -> "permissions." In there you can click "Advanced." Click the "Owner" tab, select "Administrators" for the owner and check "Replace owners on all subcontainers." Click APPLY. Ignore any warning. Now, click "OK." and close all windows except regedit. Now, click "Edit" -> "Permissions," again for the same key. Now, under the first screen that opens, make sure "administrators" is listed, and it is set at "Full control." If it isn't listed, ADD it, and give it full control. Click OK, and you now have permissions. I shouldn't need to mention that you DO have to be logged in with an administrator account. That should be obvious if you are trying to install something. :) Written in response to: no access to register key while installing mediaplayer 11 (Musiclover: Friday, December 26, 2008 at 10:15 am) Responses to this message: re: no access to register key while installing mediaplayer 11 (Musiclover: Sunday, December 28, 2008 at 6:00 am) All messages in this thread [show all] no access to register key while installing mediaplayer 11 (Musiclover: Fri, Dec 26, 2008, 10:15 am) re: no access to register key while installing mediaplayer 11 (samspade: Fri, Dec 26, 2008, 12:42 pm) re: no access to register key while installing mediaplayer 11 (triplate: Fri, Dec 26, 2008, 3:47 pm) re: no access to register key while installing mediaplayer 11 (appleoddity: Fri, Dec 26, 2008, 9:02 pm) re: no access to register key while installing mediaplayer 11 (Musiclover: Sun, Dec 28, 2008, 6:00 am) Reply or follow-up to this message Search this forum Start a new thread on a different subject Report abuse of the forum Return to the Windows XP Discussion Forum
