Hi.
My OS is windows XP Home SP2, I sign in as an Administrator. Recently
my hard drive crashed due to physical damage. I had almost the whole OS +
personal files backed up to DVD’s (using Norton Ghost). I reinstalled the
“clone� onto another hard drive which is a different brand/model than the
original. Everything seemed to work except when I went to install the client
software for the connection to my proxy server. The OS crashed due to this.
After examining the cause of this I found that the registry keys permissions
are different than usual. When I right clicked on one of the “proxy client’s�
software keys the “Permissions for Administrators� box had only one tick in
it on “Special Permissions� then in “Advanced� under the tab “Inherited From�
it had <Not Inherited>. I could not edit/delete ect. the keys until I changed
the permissions. The software could not add/modify ect. the key on reboot
ether, hence the OS crash, until I changed the permissions. Usually these
keys have permissions set as “Inherited from…Machine\Software� and
“Permissions for administrators….Full Control + Read�. Other software I
install may be having the same problem but I don’t know where all the keys
are to be able to fix them. The original OS had no problem so I believe this
drive change may be causing it. Thank you in advance for any suggestions to
help fix this problem…
