Re: Administrator Access to Windows Registry

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Thanks very much. I have one question. When running the SubInACL tool, I
received the message that for it to run correctly I needed to change the
value "XXXX" (the name I entered as the name of the Windows user account I
thought I logged in with - I used my first name, which is what appears as the
name for my box on the front page XP, home edition) to the name of name of
the Windows user account I logged in with. This seems to indicate that I've
entered the wrong name. Where can I double check the name of my Windows user
accounts on my computer? Thanks again.

So we take it that you are indeed logged on as an Administrator. Try

I have the Home edition of XP. I've been trying to install RealPlayer
(another whole story - I made the mistake of trying to update a previously
installed version but only succeeded in removing the old version and now am
unable to get a new version to install). Anyway, when I run setup, I get the
message "You currently do not have Administrator access to the Windows
registry. Please see your System Administrator to install RealPlayer."
However, I am the administrator for my computer, am doing it from my account,
which is password protected and I have signed in. I've installed numerous
programs, some very recently, so this is obviously not a correct message.
RealPlayer is telling me that this isn't their problem but is something
Microsoft needs to handle, but RealPlayer is the only program that gives me
this message.
