I've recently been having problems with my registry permissions on my Vista machine. The problems first occurred after updating iTunes to the latest version. Since then, every time I opened iTunes I received a message saying "Please wait while Windows configures iTunes..." 10-15 seconds later...

And bump after the edit.

I'm reviving and revising this thread. I'll try to keep it short and answer the posts below. My desktop is running Windows Vista Ultimate and my laptop is running XP Media Center. I'm still having the same problem as before where both computers can see each other in the workgroup, but only the...

I've tried running the Repair install before and I can never get it to work. It asks which installation I want to log into, and then asks for a password. I've not set any passwords and anything I try just takes me to a C:\> prompt.

I'm removed all of the folders and registry entries that I could find. I ran into a few other problems during this. The search feature in Windows doesn't work. The window will appear with the blue and white panes, but they're both blank. The little dog just sits in the bottom left corner. And...

I just uninstalled Norton Systemworks 2006 after it asked for re-activation. After this, my computer has become pretty useless. Some problems include: AIM will not function. I receive an error saying "ERROR: Could not create Boxely service." I cannot delete my Hotmail messages with IE. The...

I got it reinstalled and that didn't work either. Just out of curiosity I logged into my g/f's account and compared our task managers to see if there was anything running on my account that wasn't running on her's. I didn't notice anything right away but then I saw one thing: WindowBlinds. I...

I tried reinstalling from the CD like Perris said, but that didn't work either. It keeps asking for the SP2 CD, which I don't have. I have the original version of XP on CD. I was able to copy SOME of the files that it asked for, but others aren't found on the CD anywhere. Apparently there were...

I registered all the .dlls successfully, and had to change a couple of 1s to 0s in those registry values. IE still does the same thing. Any other things I could do?

I just had Charter cable installed in the house that I moved into. I never had problems with IE until this. I don't believe there's a lot of software involved with Charter, and there's nothing really obvious in the task manager that would make me think different. What IE does now when I try...

Well, SP2 fixed my welcome screen problem, but created a few minor problems with IE. I have been using Yahoo Companion quite religiously for some time now (and really started to like it since it got rid of spyware that Ad-Aware couldn't even find). Ever since I installed SP2, my Yahoo...

Tried it all, no luck. With the problems I'm having out of the wonderful job that Sun did with Java, I think it might be time for a format. Getting really tired of my entire screen turning black when I surf to a page with a Java app on it... blah.

I have 4 users set up on my computer and the welcome screen is giving me hell. It won't show up when booting, logging off, or trying to switch users. The only thing that appears is the box to manually type in your name and pass, as if the welcome screen isn't enabled. I've tried disabling and...

I got the auto-logon disabled, but the welcome screen doesn't appear when I log off. I had no problem creating new accounts, but I'd like the welcome screen to come up to make things easier for everyone. When I log off, I only get the window that comes up where you have to type your name and...

I enabled the auto-logon feature on Tweak XP and now it won't disable. I've uninstalled Tweak XP and deleted all the registry key associated with it that I could find. The auto-logon feature is still enabled, and I'm unable to access other users accounts on the computer. How can I get rid of the...

I'm having problems getting New.net out of my startup menu. I've been using MSConfig to uncheck it at every boot, but it rechecks itself. I deleted the folder containing the files in safe mode, and now all I get is an error message on boot saying that it can't find the .dll files for it. I guess...

I have 4 different accounts on my computer, with mine being the only administrator account. My roomies have managed to get so much spyware and bullcrap on their accounts that their internet doesn't work, along with some other things. I know it's spyware because other applications that use the...

Schweet, that killed it. Thanks a lot for the help!

I got ad-aware and scanned, but no luck at all. The damn thing just won't go away.

I removed those keys, but it's still there. Do I need to reboot?
