Hi,

Have you tried the solution that involves the file Reset_subinacl.zip
that contains reset.cmd and subinacl.exe?

If not:

Follow the procedure in "Step 1: Reset permissions" in this post:

http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windowsupdate/msg/f7d73177367bab34?hl=en

I would have considered edit the reset.cmd file and removed the two
lines starting with "subinacl /subdirectories".

YOu can try the following, it worked for me, but remember modifying system
registry has its dangers:

The following worked for me, but please remember the dangers of
modifying the system registry
1. Click File -> Export (or Registry -> Export
in non
Windows XP systems)
2. Type in the name HKCR Backup and Click Save
3. After the key is exported...
4. Right Click on HKey_CLASSES_ROOT
5. Click Permissions...
6. There may be several things in here or just
one. The
two important group names that should
show here is
Everyone and some for Administrator
accounts.
7. If you are missing one or both, Click the
Add...
button. Otherwise Skip to step 11
8. Type in the name of the missing group. (For
Example: Type Everyone if that is what
was missing,
or Administrator)
9. Click Check Names
10. Click OK
11. Highlight the Everyone group by clicking on
it
12. Check in Full Control if it isn't checked in
13. Check in "Read" if it isn't checked in.
14. Highlight the Administrator group by
clicking on it
15. Check in "Full Control" if it isn't checked
in.
16. Check in "Read" if it isn't checked in.
17. Click the Advanced Button
18. Check in the box "Replace permission
entries on all
child objects with entries shown here
that apply to
child objects"
19. Click Apply
20. There will be a long pause as Windows
applies the
changes we have specified above.
21. Click OK and close the Registry Editor when
done.

Good luck, but be careful

Hi folks,

I tracked my problem down to the NVidia NForce4 SATA drivers. Re-installing
the Nvidia NForce4 latest drivers cured the problem totally - problem solved.
