How to solve 'access denied' on the update of the registry key when installing XP SP3?

Running XP 2002 version upgraded to SP2 on a Gateway Pentium. Downloaded and used Microsoft SP3 disk, but the "access denied" message whenever I try. I have disabled 3rd party software, but still have the question.

    Windows Update forum is one of the three forums that doesn't have different forums for different versions of Windows (Internet Explorer and the game are the others).  With this in mind, we ask that you postat LEAST the following information.  If you don't know how to find some of the information and then post what you can and let us know that you need help to find information.

    Minimum information to validate:
    Version of Windows and Service pack level. (Windows XP Home Edition, SP3; Vista Home Premium, SP1; Windows 7 Ultimate, etc...)
    Post also if you use 32-bit or the 64 bit version of Windows.

    Update the number of the last update installed before any problem.  If you do not know the number of update, then give the date that the update has been installed.  The number of updates update failed.

    Error code updates failed or if you think an update caused a blue screen, give the blue screen error codes.

    Other information to validate:
    Measures already taken to correct the problem and the results of the measures.

    If the question is never happened before with other updates.

    A few other useful parts are:
    What program antivirus you use, if it is up-to-date, and there has never been any other installed antivirus program.
    If your version of Windows has been upgraded from a previous version or if it came with (or clean installed with) the version you are currently using.

  • Access denied - owner and/or setting permissions on the registry key

    I'm on a Windows 7 Home Premium system that has been upgraded from Vista.  Several weeks when you try to install Symantec Network Access Control, I came across problems where the facility would be restoring because of a registry access problem.  Since then, I have read and tried many fixes.  None have worked.  My current problem is that VCRedist_x64.exe also fails to install with registry access denied.  The steps I've tried among those in blog of Mark Michaelis.  This includes their achievement, safe mode.  I also have run the command secedit / configure /cfg %windir%\inf\defltbase.inf/db defltbase.sdb / verbose /areas REGKEYS.  Still can not work around the error.  The secedit journal includes some access denied errors for machine\software\microsoft.  Not sure how they relate.  I can find specify subkeys of the key / with Regedit who have the problem... but so far non of the suggestions to reset the ownership/permissions work.

    In advance... I appreciate the new thoughts and ideas to this problem.
    There must be a way to disable the security on the registry long enough to clean up this mess...

    You need to take ownership of the subkeys before you can change everything right of access!

  • I get an error, access denied to the C:\Users\myuser\AppData\Local\Temp

    Original title: access denied to the C:\Users\myuser\AppData\Local\Temp

    Hello

    I have a problem with the Windows 7 C:\Users\myuser\AppData\Local\Temp temp folder. Sort randomly, I lose access to this folder, in the sense that if I open a cmd terminal and I try to cd to that folder, it gives an access denied error (at least that I start cmd as administrator). I noticed in the list of permissions on this folder does not appear the SYSTEM. I read somewhere that this is the problem, so I added back, and then it worked. Unfortunately it disappears every day the list of permissions, and I have to put in place every day which is annoying. Do you know what could cause this problem? How can I see which changes these permissions?
    Thank you

    Hi Razvan,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community

    According the information you have provided, I understand that you found error access denied when using certain commands to the command prompt. I will certainly help you in this matter.

    1. have you logged as administrator?

    2. do you have an antivirus software installed?

    Some commands that you run at a command prompt, you need the administrative privileges for the good functioning of Windows.

    See the link.

  • FTP error. Access denied. The file does not exist (only on the roots)?

    Having a strange problem.

    I just installed CS 5.5 and got one of my sites all over the place. I can connect to my remote server very well and download to any directory other than the root?

    If I do, then I get this error (see below). This happens only when I try and put the files at the root, don't know why. I tried all the little things like:

    -liability of the rocker

    -site to redefine

    .....

    I can use any other FTP program and I can not put the files in the ROOT, so it's just a thing of dreamweaver 5.5. I also tried my Dreamweaver CS3 on my old mac and it works like a charm!

    Any suggestions?
