This message has been marked as the solution to the initial question of the thread.
I've been out of town and just got back last night. You're probably not even in LA anymore, but I was wondering if you were able to get this resolved? You need to be logged in as an administrator on that machine, and based on the message you got you do not have sufficient permissions. This is confirmed by the fact that the entries never show up in the registry. Did you try editing the registry manually when you were in Regedit? I doubt it would allow you to make changes. Anyways, I'm interested in how this all turned out for you. Sorry I wasn't around and it has taken me a couple days to reply to this message.

>Well, I am in LA and have looked at the registry. In fact I have rerun the unregistering and registering several times with no luck.
>
>Question: From a command prompt, when doing the unregistering and registering, it does the usual flash. I mean by that you barely see the command window title or something flash. This is normal as I have done this many times. I always assumed it is doing the registering.
>
>Now I am wondering, perhaps it is just not doing it, because I do not have administrator rights. I do not get any error or anything. It goes thru the motions but it doesn't ever show up in the registry.

>I can tell you this. If I try to run msconfig, I get an error: "You may have to log in as administrator..."

>The network administrator has told me that I have full access to the computer, but I am not logging in as administrator, and I believe the inability to run msconfig, tells me I may not have enough rights to modify the registry as well. Looks like I would get an error when I try to do the registering, if I do not have sufficient rights, but that may not be true.
