    Parental control help...is good_help out there?

    I read a thread from last year that describes the trouble I'm having but could not locate the crucial answer. The problem is: When I try to set up parental controls using the admin. acct. for my kids' user acct. I get a flash of the screen and then I get the message: "Unable to make changes to parental control settings. If problem persists, see your system administrator." good_help responded with a regedit potential fix that worked for this user but I could not find the answer to the final post below.

    The last post from the thread last year read:

    "I have found the regedit and have located
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session
    Manager\Environment. There seems to be a combination of REG_SZ and
    REG_EXPAND_SZ lines in it. I do not know what to do here. I am not sure of
    what to do. Do I delete lines or edit them or insert them. Please advise."

    I have the same scenario as above but am not sure what to do from here. Thanks
