Whenever I try to make a change to the startup, I get a "an access denied error was returned while attempting to change a service. You may need to log on using an Administrator account to make the specified changes". However, access denied I am the administrator when I'm making these changes. The last time I used msconfig was about a year ago, and it worked fine. What's going on?
