A doozy for sure… but no fear, Dumb Technician is here!

This was actually an easy one. The error basically is given because an attempt to write to the registry was denied due to insufficient rights. That’s Microsoft for you, nothing simple.

This is how I was able to fix and there are other solutions!

1. I was able to turn UAC off.

2. Go to start and type msconfig  and hit enter.

3. Select tools from the above tabes and select disable UAC and reboot.

Then hit Start > run cmd and at the prompt enter each line:

cd c:\windows\system32
regsvr32 xxxxxxxx.ocx

This has got to be one of the worst nightmares….. I know it’s not an IT solution, but geez. This is just disgusting!

A computer store is closing its Portland area locations and customers who brought their computers in for repair are urged to pick their computers up as soon as possible, an employee told KGW on Tuesday.

Regional manager Jonas Fowler with the Tigard PC Club store said PC Club was sold to another entity a couple months ago and officials were setting up to liquidate the store but have now filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy.

He said employees were told to shut down all the stores Tuesday and not to come back on Wednesday.

On Tuesday, Fowler — who is now out of a job — was trying to reach customers that have computers in the store so they can come pick them up since he doesn’t know what will happen Wednesday.
