See the following link to see more information and I'll think about
installing more freeware (I've developed a phobia when it comes to
installing
some freeware because of really bad past problems but we'll see) to get
you
the answers you need.

Your caution to unknown freeware is very healthy, but this stuff from
SysInternals is as clean as it gets. It was written by a Microsoft MVP, and
Microsoft itself requently recommends this tool (and its sibling, regmon):

You'll need to check permissions on various files and registry keys, but
without knowing which files or keys are failing, it's hard to describe it
properly from a distance.

If it were me, I would follow the procedure in the first KB article I
mentioned and look for ACCDENIED errors: report back and we'll help you dig
further.
