Windows Forum / Windows XP / Security and Administration / March 2007unable to display security information on registry to set permissi
Install of HP Image zone s/w cannot create registry values (from user and adm acct)and when I use regedit (from adm)to try to change the permissions I get the msg "unable to display security information" ...on Dell 6000 using XP home edition installed 12/2005. Have used a registry tool to do a cleanup and that did not show a problem. Ran dcomcnfg as suggested by HP forum but could not see a problem Check on HP's web site for a newer version of ImageZone. And specifically look for a patch for it that addresses this specific issue.

I looked on web site as you suggested and did not see a patch specifically for this error and those listed were from 2006. The CD that I can purchase is also old- 4/2006 -which would be the version I have - I thiink - as I just purchased this scanner. I kind of thought that, since I can't look at the permission on any key using regedit ,that I somehow have messed up something else having to do with security controls. > Check on HP's web site for a newer version of ImageZone.

You could try a Bart's PE CD. This creates a bootable "mini" version of Windows where you can run REGEDIT and bypass the permissions to make changes. But you would have to know the exact key that needs to be changed. http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/ SignatureDoug Knox, MS-MVP Windows Media Center\Windows Powered Smart Display\Security Win 95/98/Me/XP Tweaks and Fixes http://www.dougknox.com -------------------------------- Per user Group Policy Restrictions for XP Home and XP Pro http://www.dougknox.com/xp/utils/xp_securityconsole.htm -------------------------------- Please reply only to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

I do know exactly what keys need to be changed as the install lists those that fail. (Is this like safe-mode? I found instructions for installing the s/w in that mode on HP but no mention that this would help my problem). Guess I could try Bart's.

Its an adaptation of the Windows Pre-installation Environment. I've found it to be an invaluable tool for recovering systems that have been infected with malware/virus's. Being able to edit the Registry "off-line" means that the little nasties can't keep re-inserting themselves into the Registry. What you will need to do, though is look at http://www.dougknox.com/xp/tips/xp_adv_reg_editing.htm. This will show you how to load the actual Windows Registry hive into REGEDIT. What Regedit will see under Bart's is not what is actually in memory when Windows is running. Basically, once you're in the Bart's environment, run Regedit. Click File, Load Hive and browse to the actual Windows\System32\config folder and load the Software hive (no extension). You'll be prompted for a name, I use LoadedHive or LoadedKey. Then expand that Registry branch until you get to the setting you need to change.
