Access denied to gpedit.msc when logged in as local administrator

The subject says it all. When logging into some machines at my office that aren't part of our domain, I am unable to access the local policy on the network. I am logged in locally with a local account (administrator) and this is happening. Any ideas? I have tried logging via safe mode as an administrator with no success as well, how do I get into the machines registry to allow me access to the computer's local policy? All of the computers that are doing this are running XP SP2.

Tip: Run a free scan for common Windows errors ad

Fixed!

Problem fixed. No one had permission to the c:\windows\system32\grouppolicy folder. I gave administrators full control and I am in business again!
