Registry problem

The problem is that i cannot delete a registry entry.
I"ve already tried RegCleaner and manual delete the reg key and i got an error message "cannot open data..etc".

Any ideas?
 
What do u mean "in safe mode"?
I uninstalled the relative program but the registry key is always there and it"s not accesable...
Here it is:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ASVzzz\TheFly\data
It was from the FlyDS 1.6.1
 
sorry did not read the header here !? not sure if you can start windows XP has a safe mode !? like windows 98 etc has by pressing usually F8 when booting the system up !?
 
Think U still can viper_1069.At least it done it on mine a few times when i tryin out XP.Think like U say its F8, but U gotta do it just as the bios table screen is about 2 change 2 XP boot screen.Dont know if they changed it with SP1

If you cannot delete this entry while being in XP safe mode (quite likely), the only way out is to boot your system via the ERD Commander bootCD and run regedit (or the dedicated ERD regeditor) to delete the key.
The above method has a serious flaw, though: the price of ERD Commander.
 
Could it have anything do with program priviliges.Can U loggin as administrator & delete it that way??

Not sure cause i went back 2 98se

I logged on as admin and i had no luck...
 
Soz.Maybe the software still has a service or files still in use.Did U try system restore.I would check the services U have running.Quickest way is right click on My Computer & select manage.This opens the computer management screen.Look 4 services down the bottom in the left hand pane.Never heard of the prog or s/w that is causing U this prob

Wish i could help more but i not used XP in a few months &starting 2 forget where they moved everything 2

The Link don't work M8.That what U mean.I take it U searched registry 4 other entries 4 the prog/file thats causin U th bother.If U find any others, try deleting them & reboot & try th 1 that causin U da hassle.Any files on the computer itself related 2 the prob delete them, & check for any drivers in the win directory & system32, but dont delete anythin if in doubt rename tvtuner drivers or related vxd's..But i think U prob done all this by now.Did the prog just stop working or did U uninstall it or update it??Im not an expert, but i trim my reg manually cause im 4ever installin stuff.Have U swapped cards??

More info would hepl M8:)

dat link still not workin??

checkin it out now.More info on what happened 2 make U want 2 delete the reg key would help.Back in a bit while i check da site:)

The only way to remove these entires ((if safe mode did not work) is ERD Commander. You can find some valid links in another of your fav forums (or they are not that valid anymore? Not sure...).
 
It's easy guys :
if you're logged as an admin, let's say that the account is named
sergio_admin.
Launch regedit
Choose the entry you want to delete
Go to the menu "edit" choose "authorizations" add the sergio_admin account and give it the rights "total control" then you will be able to delete the entry in the register.

Hope this helps ;)

I logged on as admin and i have in the permissions field "full control"...but when i try to delete or edit the subkey i posted i got the error msg...


@banzibaby, checkin it out now.More info on what happened 2 make U want 2 delete the reg key would help.Back in a bit while i check da site
Just unistalled the prog cause don"t use it anymore, think that in the data subkey has the registration info....


@scarecrow, The only way to remove these entires ((if safe mode did not work) is ERD Commander
Today i tried ERD Commander 2002, with the built-in RegEditor u can edit only the Hkey_Classes_Root and Hkey_local_Machine keys, mine is in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ASVzzz\TheFly\data.

So, still i"m unable to delete this entry.... just wondering how the hell is locked?
 
regedit

well I don't know if this will help but I use jv16 power tools for all my reg. endores.
It's freeware here:http://www.vtoy.fi/jv16/shtml/software.shtml
and it's pretty straight forward, use the reg. cleaner in the tool menu or you can even open regedit from the app. itself, plus I know that it reads the HKEY_CURRENT_USER

so if your down to trying anything, give this a shot. only takes 1 min on broadband + there another app. there called Brute force, not sure what it does but it has a impressive name.

RegCleaner i used to delete the reg entry is a part of jv16 tools :)

Thanks, anyway
