No updates says it is happy, i.e. needs no updates. Unfortunately my OS disk is at home and I'm on travel for a couple weeks. Stopped it once again by M$. Is there a way to find the existing key for the system?

Get a window containing text that appears to be instructions for running msiexec.

msiexec.exe is there shows "Windows ® Installer. V 5.0.7601.17514"

Running Win7 64bit. Have spent hours on various forums with a ton of "so called solutions." Windows Installer doesn't show up under services at all. Can't find a download to reinstall since it should use v5. The v4.5 won't install. Suggestions?

I'm stumped! My wife uses IE9 and her machine and has a problem that I can't solve having spent several hours trying. Link Removed - Invalid URL Her friends send her links to their YouTube videos but they won't play --- hang up after starting for a few seconds. The same video will play...

Interesting, thanks for letting us know the outcome.

WHAT?? Everything just started working! I turned Process Monitor on, ran for awhile. Tried my "reg query" command and it worked. Been trying to solve this problem for couple weeks and have no idea what fixed it. This makes no sense to me.

Oh yes, running malware and virus protection, have for years, and all that is clean. Yes, something is clearly amiss with the OS. Ever since SP1, it has seemed flacky (not a technical term of course). I'll see if sysinternals process monitor can shed any light. Otherwise it maybe time...

Yes, tried but have the same problem with it that I have with the "reg query" command, i.e. access denied. Can't even do a subinacl /help command, same result access denied. I can run regedit but commands outside regedit such as "reg query" or the use of subinacl aren't allowed.

Jim, If you can run IntelBurnTest for several hours, your machine is stable. I think you should move on to consideration of other potential issues. -ralph EDIT: This means your motherboard, CPU and memory are OK.

Mike, I have SDK packages on my laptop which runs Windows 7 Ult. 64-bit and don't have this problem, i.e. access denied to reg query. I think this is a pure Windows 7 problem on my desktop machine, something has gone awry with the OS. -ralph

Using the Administrator account to change the permissions does not change the result, still no access. One thing that is unclear, is denied access to RegEdit or is it to the registry itself?

Mike, Yes, I have the Administrator account enabled. Have not tried changing registery permissions etc. while logged in through the Administrator account because I'm logged in through another administrator-level account. I can certain try that when I get home but I wouldn't think it would...

I've changed permissions in the registry on the key but still doesn't work. I can execute the command on a different computer running the same OS. Suggestions?
