RE: Access Denied - Msconfig Startup Changes

Hi Jami..

It's very simple to get where you need...
Follow these steps EXACTLY and you should have admin. access to use msconfig
once again...

START - RUN "regedit" - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - SYSTEM - CurrentControlSet -
Services - Pml Driver HPZ12....
Go over to the right side and right click on START , then select "MODIFY"
and change the number from (2) to (4) - - - Click OK and exit out of registry
edit and try to use the msconfig again and the error should not pop up.
Hope this works for you.
Blessings,
Apeke

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

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.
