RE: Access Denied - Msconfig Startup Changes


Hi Jami,
If still in warranty then they can fix it for you?.
Do you have this installed WavePlayer
Pulse Code Modulation (PCM)

http://h71000.www7.hp.com/openvms/journal/v1/ns3/mgclus.htm

Also look in the event viewer for any error messages and double click it to
get more info and you can copy and paste it in your next message.
I will make sure the machine is malware free and Virus free by scanning the
machine in both Normal and Safe mode.
HTH.
Let us know.

I made a change to Startup because I orginally contacted Dell because I got
an error message about PCM Service.exe. We decided to disable this in
startup & that's when I got the Access Denied message. But, it made the
change nonetheless.

My only problem with taking to tech shop is there is a 3 yr warranty on
system & that could void the warranty thru Dell.

I just feel there's some little setting that could help instead of
reinstalling Windows XP & having to reinstall all programs, plus backup data.

I keep getting a message when I try to make changes to "Startup" in Msconfig
that Access Denied & I may need to logon as Administrator. I AM the
ADministrator & only user of personal notebook computer. However, the
changes seem to take effect nonetheless.

Is there anyway to correct this problem of getting this message?

Please help!!!!! I just don't undertand it!!!

Dell suggested reformatting entire hard drive, but I don't understand that.
The changes take effect...there's just some glitch that I get this message.

So why you are trying to adjust or change the setting on the StartUp?.
You could be having a corrupt profile and you need to create a new Profile
with admin privileges and you done.
Also I will make sure this machine is clean from malwares/viruses.

If all the above is too much for you then take the Machine to your local
Tech and they will advise you on what appropriate according to the real
ground.
