"Registry area appears locked. Cannot continue" error
Hi,
I've just about completed the migration of my XP programs to my new Windows 7 x64 installation. All my programs work (astronomy related) except for one - MaxPoint by Diffraction Limited. The program installs correctly (no errors), but when I run it for the first time, I get a "Registry area appears locked. Cannot continue." error.
I've tried everything I could think of - running the program as an Administrator, setting the Compatibility to XP (SP2 and SP3), copying over the "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Diffraction Limited\MaxPoint" key from the XP install, but nothing works. I thought that it may be Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 that might be causing the problem, but after uninstalling KIS and then installing MaxPoint, I get the same error
This is my only program that won't run under Windows 7. Of course, the support organization for MaxPoint says that they have no problems installing and running MaxPoint on their Win7 x86 and x64 installations Does anyone have any idea as to what I can do next? I really don't want to keep XP around, since my other programs run perfectly under Windows 7.
Thanks.
Mike
