Running Vista Home Premium, 32 Bit, on an Acer Laptop with 2 mg memory.

I went to the Petri web site
http://www.petri.co.il/add-take-owne...menu-vista.htm

and copied the programme into Notepad as directed. I did make one change;
where the first line says :Windows Registry Editor Version 5" I changed it
to Version 6" because the error message on the second screen said that
"there is an error accessing the registry." I ran "reg edit" and got the
opening screen giving me access to the registry; it is version 6.00

Using "Version 6", however, when I tried to run it (double click on the file
name), up came the first screen to warn me of the consequences. Another
click brings up a screen that says "Cannot Import ownership.reg ... The
specified file is not meant to be used with this version of Windows."

I can probably input the changes into the registry by hand, but I am curious
as to why the programme will not run on my plane vanilla laptop?

Hi John,

See if the download from here will work better for you.

I'm running Vista Home Premium, 32 Bit as well. My reg is version 6. I did
not make any changes when I copied the program into Notepad. No problem when
I merged the file with my reg by clicking on it.

Possibly there is a conflict with your AV program. Norton and McAfee are
known to cause issues with Vista.

Did you try to import the file by clicking FileImport from the reg window?
