    Hi everyone,hope you people can help me out with this problme.
    I have windows vista home premium 32bit and when I open programs it does give me errors like for windows live messenger it say could not open key when i click on the software icon.


    i cannot even unistal the program,neither upgrade it.

    Same thing if i try to unistall adobe reader





    it does not let me unistal it.
    same thing is happening with several other software.

    What is the problem??

    Try re-booting in safe mode and delete from cpanel. If that doesn't work it may b e a permission problem. Are you running as a standard user or admin?

    Hello Cpu, and welcome to Vista Forums.

    It may be a permission issue. Using step 3 in Option Two of METHOD TWO in the tutorial below take ownership of those registry keys (left pane) and allow your user account full control of it.

    Take Ownership of file

    Hope this helps,
    Shawn
