Windows XP registry

[sifite]

I have a number or entries in my system registery which I can not remove. I get the message "Can not open bla bla bla: Error while opening key." What does this mean and how do I fix it?

There are many keys in the registry for which even the local Administrator does not have permissions.

Can you give an example of a key to which you believe you should have access?

Registry Keys have Access Permissions similar to the permissions on files.

If you are making changes to the Registry then you may need something like this program so you can recover from any mistakes.

Problem with Windows update. Error 0x8DDD0009
This is an XP Home related problem, though web searches have shown it affects XP Pro and Win2K

Since August, when trying to use Windows Update, I get the stated error. I have tried various solutions found on the Web (re-registering various dll's with Regsvc32, disabling IE third pary extensions etc with limited success, but now nothing works. Anyone any ideas?
