    Regedit Permission Issues!!


    I've followed all kinds of tutorials so that I can edit a registry key, but no matter what I do, i get the following message when I edit it!

    "Cannot edit ProStat: Error writing the value's new contents."

    Please explain to me how we can get full permissions as Administrator (Yes, I am Administrator already) to edit our registry. Thanks!

    Try starting regedit from the 'run box'. :)
    Which key are you trying to edit?

    Also, try right clicking the key, choose Permissions and give yourself full control.
