wpcumi.exe is related to Windows Parental Control Notifications
Every time I try to get into the parental controls, my event log is spammed with between 10 and 25 of these failures.

Of worthy note, I have never tried parental controls without SP1 installed.
I don't know if it could be SP1 related.

Edit: Yes I have tried all of the above steps with no success.

I haven't tried the UAC as I'm a bit nervous of that all going wrong! Does
this (above) mean that when logged in as the UAC it all looked as though your
normal admin account should be able to make the changes? Or can you only make
the changes using the UAC?

I want to change the list of permitted programs to allow my children to use
some new software I've installed for them since originally setting up the
allowed programs list. I can go in and change all the tick boxes that I want,
but when I click on OK to save the changes I get the same message as the
others here. I am logged on as 'Computer Administrator'.

I can also create (and delete) a new user account, but cannot apply any
parental controls to that account - just get the same old 'unable to make
changes to parental controls settings. If this problem persists consult your
system administrator.' as soon as I select the new user from the list of user
accounts, so in that instance the parental controls window won't even open.

Help please!
