Access denied while saving msconfig?

T

Tom A.

This problem is driving me nuts! I have read several posts relating to HP
printers
and I have already concluded it is not the problem.

I entered msconfig to check startup settings, made no change, hit ok, then I
get
"An access denied error was returned while attempting to change a service"
I didn't change a service, nothing in eventlog??

Any help super appreciated.

Since you did not intend to change anything anyway and nothing has actually
been changed, this is not in itself a major problem.
However it may indicate that MSConfig is not working properly.

Actually anytime Msconfig gets opened w/o useing the "cancel" button
to close the utility,youre setting policy as its written in the
utility.Also,while
Msconfig seems like the way to edit services,actually services.msc is the
preferred method.
