Hey I have the same problem, you need to understand that I have not had the problem before and I am using the same account I always use, ie the only account ever used and it has allways allowed me to change msconfig so it's not the account.

Have you investigated these ideas and see if they apply to you: If you have an HP printer installed, the problem is most likely the HPZ12 service. The msconfig changes seem to work, but the error message is annoying. There is a possibility you will lose communications with your HP printer if you want to prevent the error message. This may not be a problem if you don't care about the communications or never use those HP features that require it. You can also live with the message, knowing the changes really worked or ask HP and they will usually suggest reinstalling Windows. Depending on your comfort level with making system changes, here are two workarounds. http://www.ehow.com/how_4531999_fix-access-denied-error-using.html http://pchell.com/support/msconfig_access_denied_error.shtml Before making registry changes, backup your registry with this popular free and easy to use tool: http://www.larshederer.homepage.t-online.de/erunt/

Use known good ant-spyware tools (SuperAntiSpyware or Anti-Malware) and check to see if you have been "hit" by some type of "spyware" malware. |
