Registry edit lock-out

[Guest Dr. Dos]

I get an error from Norton WinDoc that

.....\Macromed[ia]\flash\flash9b.ocx cannot be found.

Of course, it cannot be found since (magically without any

effort on my part...auto update?) it has been replaced by

flash9e.

Regardless of permissions I apply to the appropriate

registry keys, I am denied access, even as administrator. I

cannot edit the listing to go from 9b to 9e, and I cannot

delete this key.

This happens on multiple machines.

How to overcome this?

Ignore Norton Windoc.

Thanks Bob,

 

Ignoring WinDoc seems something like putting black tape over

the check engine light.

 

WinDoc or not...the registry key is wrong. I still ask the

question on how to get control of this key to correct it.

Actually the Check Engine light is working just fine, it's the faulty

3rd party diagnostic equipment that is the issue.

Thanks for the comment. I decided to checkout Macromedia

(Adobe) to see if it had any answer. Adobe has posted a

general repair for Windows because of known registry

problems with WinXP when installing Flash.

 

http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=fb1634cb&sliceId=2.

 

After doing the repairs, I was able to edit away most of the

errors. Rerunning WinDoc, the old errors were gone and there

were no additional errors.

 

I am always open to reliable diagnostic "equipment." What's

the matter with Norton's and what application do you trust?

The issue is that I don't consider Windoc diagnostic equipment. I use

regedit.
