Same issue, I am not able to get into parental controls at all. I have
tried the "path" fix, the "real admin" trick, with UAC, without UAC, yes
the service is running, no there are not any related errors in the event
log.


I haven't tried the UAC as I'm a bit nervous of that all going wrong! Does
this (above) mean that when logged in as the UAC it all looked as though your
normal admin account should be able to make the changes? Or can you only make
the changes using the UAC?

I want to change the list of permitted programs to allow my children to use
some new software I've installed for them since originally setting up the
allowed programs list. I can go in and change all the tick boxes that I want,
but when I click on OK to save the changes I get the same message as the
others here. I am logged on as 'Computer Administrator'.

I can also create (and delete) a new user account, but cannot apply any
parental controls to that account - just get the same old 'unable to make
changes to parental controls settings. If this problem persists consult your
system administrator.' as soon as I select the new user from the list of user
accounts, so in that instance the parental controls window won't even open.

Help please!
