632198 2008-01-20 18:26:00 Hi,
I am using windows vista business. Vista is new to me.
I just bought one software. When I try to enter the registration key for this
software, it is giving me error something like "Registration Not Allowed".
I asked to my software vendor. They said me as the software is trying to write that key into the registry, I have to login in as administrator.
I am already using administrator login. And I also tried to right click the
software shortcut on my desktop and select "Run As Administrator", but still
not allowed me to register. Means do not allow to write anything into the
registry through that software.

Is there any idea, How to change or look the permissions for administrator
in vista. Or How to allow registry change?

Thanks,

632199 2008-01-20 18:39:00 Do you mean activating, not registering Vista doesnt work??

I think there's a difference between the two.

Whats the EXACT error message. It'll make it easier for us to tell you what the problem may be.

632201 2008-01-20 19:00:00 Is something like Spybot installed??

Its probably something like Teatimer screwing things up. Kill it.

632202 2008-01-20 20:25:00 Hi, Thanks for reply.

As "Bletch" said, I am not trying to activate Vista. Vista is working fine.
But I bought one software "English to Hindi Converter". And I am trying
to registering it.

It is showing me one message "Registration Not Permitted".
I haven't installed any antivirus or spyware software including no or spybot on my PC. Because I bought this new PC before few months.

By default windows firewall in ON.

Thanks,

632204 2008-01-20 20:47:00 Right-click on the setup file and chose "run as administrator". This will allow you to register it georgeks (9122)

632206 2008-01-21 00:51:00 If you have CD for Window XP and Window Vista.
Try installing Window XP because the computer may perform better in Window XP rather than Vista(CPU Usage)

If Window Vista SP1 or something comes out, then install Vista as it may be better than XP.

632207 2008-01-21 01:10:00 Bera, what you suggest is an absolute last-resourt for a critical application. It's never a good idea to replace the OS (along with all the other problems that brings) unless you have a very good reason to do so!!!

Prayami, keep following Wainuitech for now - take a look at the page he linked to and report back whether or not it worked.
