I have Windows XP Pro SP2 installed with all the latest updates. The problem is: Since past 2-3 days, I have been getting Access Denied error. Whenever I try to modify any service or change in System Configuration Utility (msconfig.exe), I get an Access Denied error. But the case is, the changes actually happen inspite of giving me the error. The error says: 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. Actually, http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-performance/my-computer-says-acces-denied-when-trying-to-put/68b4c366-73f5-4572-b5c3-1087122b8ae0 I am able to run all the windows programs & services. I have been using Zonealarm Pro for past 5-6 years and never faced any problem due to it. I update it as soon as a new version is available. I never faced this problem dur to Zonealarm before. Anyway, I checked the settings & the OS Firewall was off. I anyway keep it off cos it causes most of Windows Components to ask permission which is http://forums.majorgeeks.com/index.php?threads/access-denied-to-administrator.109558/ quite a nag. So, back to the problem. No, ZOnealarm Pro's OS Firewall is not causing the problem. I have scanned my computer with Ad-aware, Spybot S&D, Spyware Doctor, Pc-cillin 2006, Zonealarm Anti-spyware using latest definitions. But found nothing. I checked my system for any other problem such as this and found none. Have already tried replacing the current msconfig.exe with one from ServicePackFiles but of no use. I didn't play around with any tweaking software or gpedit. Plus, I always make a backup before doing any serious changes to my system. I also tried creating a new user with admin rights. Then ran msconfig.exe in that user. The problem was still there with msconfig.exe. It seems that the rights for the "Administrators" group have been messed up with. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Also, I found a couple of posts on net about how to reset my system policies & rights. Some of them are as follows: The first solution was: secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\repair\secsetup.inf /db secsetup.sdb /verbose The problem with above command is, it actually executes but later says that the file is missing. "secsetup.inf" file is there in my system but there is no "secsetup.sdb" file. So, basically this solution was a big flop.

The only symptoms I'd had (so far!) were inability to install a higher version of Adobe Reader on one, and broken WMP video playback -- with inability to re-register wmp.dll -- on the other. At first I came across and applied that workaround of adding "Everyone" with full control to parent keys, error setting security but then read that that's not a permanent or wise way to go. So I used DAF and it fixed many key permissions on both (thank you!). But below are some remaining secrepair log errors from the XP Home SP2 machine that I don't know how to proceed on. I'm not sure if they would ever even interfere with anything, but wanted to ask if I should do something about them, and if so, what. Possibly-relevant details: I'm the owner/only user of these machines. On the one below I did set up a limited user account at one point, but never used it and recently deleted it. They're standalone machines and have never been networked. (FYI, I tried very hard to google up some answers before coming here to bother you; figured these exact error messages were as common as dirt and that I'd find a smorgasboard of completely relevant material. But noooo!!! Oh and please don't lose respect for me because I have AOL on this machine. I don't use it anymore and would love to scrub it out once and for all, but need to keep it if I want to be able to access old emails saved in its proprietary .pfc format, grrr!) ----Configure Registry Keys...

Member I know about the question @ http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-performance/cannot-start-windows-event-log-service-on-windows/e2c218ad-8637-49ee-8023-50eae0e4ddcb The answer there did not help. I also found this article: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsdesktop/en-US/c75ae899-d05b-411d-a7f2-00fdd33b8589/event-log-error-4201-errorwmiinstancenotfound?forum=windowscompatibility -- I tried the reset.cmd which uses subinacl to add full rights to registry and subdir keys. It ran quickly to completion -- though I note it "cd's" to a 32-bit based version of the Windows Resource Kits/Tools -- So I'm wondering if it really reset the full registry or just the 32-bit part of it? I also tried the: secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\inf\defltbase.inf /db defltbase.sdb /verbose >c:\temp\secedit_output.txt command: It failed at about 74%: secedit_output.txt: Completed 0 percent (0/113) Process Privilege Rights area ^MCompleted 1 percent (1/113) Process Privilege Rights area ^MCompleted 2 percent (2/113) Process Privilege Rights area ^MCompleted 3 percent (3/113) Process Privilege Rights area ^MCompleted 4 percent (4/113) Process Privilege Rights area ^MCompleted 5 percent (5/113) Process Privilege Rights area ^MCompleted 6 percent (6/113) Process Privilege Rights area ^MCompleted 7 percent (7/113) Process Privilege Rights area ^MCompleted 7 percent (8/113) Process Privilege Rights area ^MCompleted 8 percent (9/113) Process Privilege Rights area ^MCompleted 9 percent (10/113) Process Privilege Rights area ^MCompleted 10 percent (11/113) Process Privilege Rights area ^MCompleted 11 percent (12/113) Process Privilege Rights area ^MCompleted 14 percent (15/113) Process Privilege Rights area ^MCompleted 14 percent (15/113) Process Group Membership area ^MCompleted 15 percent (16/113) Process Group Membership area ^MCompleted 27 percent (30/113) Process Group Membership area
