Cannot Take Ownership or Delete Certain Registry Keys Win7 64
I have several monitors and one of them had had a corrupted digital EDID. I have succesfully re-written the EDID to the monitors eprom however windows still will not store this corrected key. It continues to use the original VGA keys or corrupted digital keys.
The monitor is a Viewsonic and the main key is here:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\DISPLAY\VSC0F1F
Under that key, there are 9 subkeys. 3 for the VGA and 6 for the corrupted Digital.
When I connect only the Viewsonic monitor, it never creates another key with the corrected EDID. Even when I use a program to view the edid's, it shows up as the analog one.
I have tried several guides both here and elswhere on taking control of the keys but always it fails with
"Registry Editor could not set owner on the key currently selected, or some of its subkeys."
I tried working my way up from the lowest subkey and the same thing occurs.
What I would really like to do is completely delete the Viewsonic key and have Windows create a new key on boot up.
