Error accessing registry
Hi...
A li'l help would be cool on this one :-) I have 3 profiles on my machine, 1 admin and 2 limited. Everytime I right click on any file or folder the limited profiles and select properties, I get the following error: Error: There was an error accessing registry. Be sure you have necessary privileges. I click OK but the message instantly pops back up, I clicking ok a dozen times before the Properties box finally comes up. I have scanned for viruses using a fully updated NOD32 and all is clean. No spyware probs either. The problem doesn't happen when I change the accounts to Admin but I don't want to do that full time for obvious reasons. I have tried creating new limited accounts just incase there is a corrupted system file on the accounts but the same error pops up. I suspect the problem may be related to a program I recently installed called febooti File Tweak which can change the system attributes of files and folders from the right click Properties box...maybe it doesn't like limited accounts???? I have tried giving both limited accounts full rights to the installation directory but it didn't fix the problem. Is anyone able to suggest anything to resolve the problem?? Thanks Nick :-) |
