| | Can't delete registry key I went to upgrade Nero 8 to the latest update and could not install so I removed Nero 8 completely. However, there are still some keys that won't delete in the reg. I tried Nero's Clean Tools but no luck. Updating the software won't work because I get an error that it can't access a key in the registry (InCD, which is not and does not install in Vista/Nero 8). I've tried safe mode as well as 3 registry cleaners with no luck. What's the secret to deleting these registry keys. I'm using Vista Ultimate. Thanks |

| | Re: Can't delete registry key If you are absolutely sure the key(s) are not in use or needed, open regedit and take ownership of the key(s): Right click, Permissions, Advanced, Owner Tab (change Owner to You/Your Account)--check box to "Replace owner on sub........", OK, back to Permissions, give yourself/your account Full Control (click your name/account, Edit Button, OK out of it), do whatever you want with the key. -- Maxwell Bluemeanie "Paul" <pcostanza@xxxxxx> wrote in message news 8DE09FA-33EC-4C94-983E-41614EB35758@xxxxxxQuote: >I went to upgrade Nero 8 to the latest update and could not install so I >removed Nero 8 completely.
