Hello.. Oh great wise ones, I am a new user of OS 64, initial setup was fine..until I tried to install some old programs that were for windows XP (that won't work on the new system) Now I believe I have some old half installed programs causing dll error issues, plus I keep getting an error messages that says "access is denied" error (0X8007005) I searched around until I found this forum and even tried the admins suggestion of trying the CClean program but I can't get it to install to clean my computer I keep getting the access denied, oh and it is my personal PC so when my son set it up, he set me as the user/administrator is there any way that could have changed and that is the reason for the error message? I am very frustrated as this machine isn't 6 months old. Any ideas or suggestions as to what I need to do? Do they have an OS 64 for dummies book? Thank you in advance for your assistance D -- DixieC |

Check to see if your copy of Vista has been validated. Considering that you have had the computer for 6months now, I am guessing that it already has been validated. I would suggest creating a new user account with all options turned on, log into that account and see what happens from there. Good Luck! -- FrankCoffin |

Ok with out seeming totally stupid..how do I validate my copy? Is that the same as registering the purchase key# ? I'm sorry I'm very new at this and XP was so fool proof I didn't have any issues. Thanks for your help -- DixieC |
