Did you run the command i posted as administrator or did you click "fix it" on the MS site?

 

[neobazz]

I ran the command you posted as Admin.

EDIT: I tried the fix-it link, and it gave the message, "This Fix-it does not apply to your system".

I ran the command you posted as Admin.

Odd because it is looking for an XP directory, anyway after you restarted does the problem still exist?

 

[neobazz]

After a restart, problem still exists.

Here is a screenshot of folder permissions for Administrators, unlike general C:\ permissions, all folder permissions have no control.

Clearly the permissions are messed up. If running command prompt as administrator and applying the command i posted does not fix the problem the only thing i can think of is a reinstall.

I dont know if this means anything but,after I saw the picture that you uploaded of the properties/security,I had a look at mine, and noticed that there are no ticks on anything ,except the bot one Special Permissions, and I have no problems whatsoever with any of my OPs.Here is picture,and it is the same on all my OPs.

I'll try to install apache again. I'll see if i'm able to get the config file edited / if it will allow me to do so.

Your not on the administrator permissions.

Well I am leaving mine as is ,because the only prob I have is with the Smartdoctor program,and I found a work around for that ,everything else is great.

I got apache running and installed just fine. I can connect to the Win7 box from a remote computer successfully. I can also edit the config file and successfully save/overwrite the existing data.

Some combination of things somehow made this actually work. haha. Thank you guys so much.

Great to see its fixed.

The command does not restore all security settings that are applied when you install Windows, so if you run into other problems only a reinstall will fix it.
