Lol I don't fully understand.

Does this mean my registry isn't screwed at all then?

BTW, would there be any chance you could do remote assistance on my machine?

Just a thought.

Yes Shane, I have a full admin account, and no guest account.

Are you familiar with a program called D7? It is a technician's tool and has repair permissions set into it, but the end result is exactly the same.

I may have lead you astray a bit with some of my screen shots.

What I've been posting are shots of the results when I right click on a random properties subfolder.

I'm sending you a shot of the result of my right clicking on a subfolder only.

The only discs I have for my system are 3 recovery discs, my PC didn't come with an installation disc.

I really don't want to resort to a fresh install if it can be avoided.

That's the first subfolder in the list, and the only one I can access.

Yes, on the advanced tab, there are no entries in the Groups or User Names box.

Hello Shane

Well I downloaded and ran Combofix; everything seemed OK. I had a look at that Microsoft article link you gave me, unfortunately I didn't understand how to go about it, so I just used your all-in-one repair program once more, but alas still getting the error messages.

Yes, I have actually used tdskiller.exe a few times.

I have heard that running combofix can be quite dangerous for your machine, is this true?

I think you may have to take me through setting them manually set by step Shane, as I find the whole thing pretty confusing.  :sad:

Yes, sorry I should have said, the problem is actually affecting the properties subfolders, right across the entire hive path

OK, I have checked the first folder within that path, and when I look at the permissions for the first key, for every item in the Group or User Names box, permissions for both "Full Control" and "Read" are ticked only.

That's just for that particular key, though.

Oh yes, I always see the command prompt window, several times actually, and yes there is always a red strip across the top, sometimes with failed items.

No Shane, it doesn't seem to take too long actually.

I actually don't use Microsoft Security Essentials, but have Avast 6.0, Comodo Firewall 5.9 and Advanced Windows Care PRO 5

Hello Shane, thanks for the very quick reply.

Sorry, I meant to say I'm on Vista Home Basic 32-bit.

The affected registry keys - which I have noticed, there may be others - are in the following hive:

HKEY LOCAL MACHINE>SYSTEM>CURRENTCONTROLSET>CONTROL>CLASS

That entire hive's properties folders is affected with this on-screen message, whenever I try to open any of the folders:

"error opening key

Properties cannot be opened.
An error is preventing this key from being opened.
Details: Access is denied."


Allan

Hello there

First of all, I must say all of your programs which I have tried are marvellous, although I am having a problem with the All-in-one Repair

Whenever I try to repair my registry permissions it seems to work fine and the process completes. However, when I reboot my machine, the registry goes back to the state it was in before, i.e. I receive errors trying to open certain registry keys' properties.

Please help me with this.

Allan Joyce.
