When I try to make some changes in msconfig,i am getting an access

denied error.I am the only user and am the aministrator of my

desktop computer, and am running Windows XP Professional. I am using McAfee

antivirus software and tried scanning the PC and it did not come up with

anything. It says that i need to be an administrator to make these changes in

msconfig, but like I said before, i am the admin and only user. what should i

do?

    Hi punkfloyd138,

     

    Have a look at this post in which Wesley Vogel has compiled various reasons

    (taken from other newsgroup posts) why users might receive the access denied

    message:
