Re: unable to display security informtion on registry to set permi

No, its not like Safe Mode. Its an adaptation of the Windows Pre-installation Environment. I've found it to be an invaluable tool for recovering systems that have been infected with malware/virus's. Being able to edit the Registry "off-line" means that the little nasties can't keep re-inserting themselves into the Registry.

What you will need to do, though is look at http://www.dougknox.com/xp/tips/xp_adv_reg_editing.htm. This will show you how to load the actual Windows Registry hive into REGEDIT. What Regedit will see under Bart's is not what is actually in memory when Windows is running.

Basically, once you're in the Bart's environment, run Regedit. Click File, Load Hive and browse to the actual Windows\System32\config folder and load the Software hive (no extension). You'll be prompted for a name, I use LoadedHive or LoadedKey. Then expand that Registry branch until you get to the setting you need to change.

That sounds really scary! I do know exactly what keys need to be changed as
the install lists those that fail. (Is this like safe-mode? I found
instructions for installing the s/w in that mode on HP but no mention that
this would help my problem). Guess I could try Bart's. Thanks.

No, there are some registry keys that an Administrator can't even look at.
You could try a Bart's PE CD. This creates a bootable "mini" version of
Windows where you can run REGEDIT and bypass the permissions to make
changes. But you would have to know the exact key that needs to be changed.
