Error writing updated registry settings () - cannot install program because the Setup program cannot access registry.

Two problems, likely of the same origin.
1. when closing a doc MS Word 2003 get "error writing upgrade settings registry ().

2 when you try to reinstall the drivers and programs for an installer of printer HP stops with the error message - Setup cannot access specific records: are then listed several keys HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HEWLET PACKARD Mfg: HP;  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HP Mfg HP; HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes Mfg: Microsoft; HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software Mfg: Microsoft; HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ICE Mfg: HP.

I can't find any help in the forums.  I ran CCleaner in the past, I don't know if this contributed to the problem.

My system: Dell Dimension E521. Vista Home Basic SP2

Hello StevePrice, software running registry cleaner is not recommended by Microsoft as this could cause damage to the records on your computer.

·          Since when are you facing these issues?

·          Did you of recent changes made to your computer outside the CCleaner?

You should try running default security settings:

    can someone help out me.

    Thank you very much.

    hihiy

    I don't think you can, you need to turn your TC to eval too, and before we do, your VC should not exceeded calclation eval of 60 days from the first day, it has been installed.

    BTW, since you have valid VC 2.5 license, and is not the Foundation of VC, why don't you showing your ESX with eval license server to license? Add then the two ESX to your existing VC?

    It is VMware User meeting and I have no other details.

    Please help me solve this problem.  I have automatic updates set to say "updates are ready for your computer.  Click here to see these updates'; Here is the little yellow icon in the system tray low to the right of my screen.  What happens when I click on this icon is usually I then click 'express install' (and non-personalized) and then press "install".

    My computer sometimes slows down a bit that it downloads / installs these updates and which can be quite a pain in the thigh because it effects everything that I'm working at the moment, and of course because you have to restart the computer.  I have external hard drives 4 or 5 so I to sequentially turn them off one at a time by ejecting them, turn off the computer and then start it back up and restart the hard drives.

    In any case - I can never remember to "SOME UPDATES COULD NOT BE INSTALLED the SCREEN" so I'm at a loss to know what to do.  My computer is perpetually slow because the small yellow Update icon sits in the systray continually trying to draw attention to me and when I do the same thing continues to be time and again - failure!   I tried closing down my antivirus and windows firewall, but nothing helped.

    your help would be much appreciated, either tell me how these updates to get the update of my systray icon, or to get updates of pit.
