An access denial error.......

Hello Lyne
It seems that you need to log in as an administrator to modify the msconfig settings.

Yes, and I am the only administrator of this computer, it's my PC so I am the administrator, thank you anyway!

Hi;

I have exactly the same problem with msconfig, I modified the Dword value to 3 for the key in the registry (I have a Deskjet 722c printer and a Scanjet 2300c scanner) and I also tried several restorations without success, I always get the message: "an access denied error was returned while attempting to modify a service"

I don't feel like reformatting, I hope to find a simpler solution...

Thank you;
Guy.

Ok, I finally found what was causing this message for me, it's my antivirus McAfee (Total Protection 2007), by uninstalling it the error message disappeared and I can use msconfig without any problem, with Avast (and probably other antivirus software) I no longer have this bug...

Thank you;
Guy

Hello,
thank you Jean-Jacques, the problem is solved thanks to your insights!

Thank you Jean-Jacques because I had the same problem. I will restart to see if it's indeed from my HP printer.
