Re: Help! Registry rights!!!

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Safe Mode runs with limited drivers, which in itself can help..but from the
admin account in safe mode you may be able to run a system file check, which
can replace damaged or missing dll's
From the Start>run command, type in
sfc /scannow
please note the space between sfc and /

Now, if you get a message that asks for your cd, and you put the cd in, you
may get the same type of error message about older/newer versions.
What you need to do then, is go to the i386 folder located on your xp disk,
and copy that to C:\

Then, open regedit from the 'run' command..I know, here goes that registry
thing again..but trust me, it'll be okay.
Locate this key,
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Setup
Now, look in the right hand pane and locate 'SourcePath' and double click
that, change the value data to C:\ as it likey is pointing to your cd drive
right now.
Close regedit, and try sfc again.

Now, as far as the SP2 cd, I don't know if you can still do this, but a
while back it was possible to go to any big box store, like Best Buy, ect
and get the Sp2 disk for free.

"Ivan" - standard precaution - do not mess with the registry - 95% of all
necessary registry changes can be made through the control panel. User
rights and permisions are assigned through share and/or NTFS settings.
XP Home does not provide an "Administrator" function as such - except
through safe mode.
Did you try safe mode, last known good configuration. etc.?

use system restore to go back to point before you made the change.
Install the software from the admin account, or download the software
from within the limited user account, save it to desktop, or wherever,
then right click and use the 'run as' credentials to install it.

Hi all,

I have WinXP Home SP2. I'm logged in as an admin and created a normal
user. The user didn't have rights to install software so I went to the
registry and gave full rights on the HKCR and HKLM hives to the Users
group. Then I removed again.

Now I have weird problems with the PC.

Some symptons:
Norton Internet Security does load on startup
When I go to MyComputer I don't see the list of drives (and the search
icon keeps playing forever)
When I go to Windows Update it says that some files and not registered
or I don't have enough rights on the
HKLM\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion key.

I made sure that I gave all the necessary rights. The admins group
have all the rights possible.

How can I fix the problem!??!?

Thanks,
Ivan
