Cannot do system restore due to Group Policy Vista Home Premium

[Steven]

Hi,

I installed a registry cleaner that looks like it has changed my Group
policy. I can no longer do a system restore or edit the registry using
regedit.

I get a message saying that Group Policy does not allow this operation, and
that I need to contact my network administrator.

When I try to use the registry software to do a system restore, I get the
same error message saying Group Policy does not allow the change.

Can anyone help me with this please.

Regards,

Hello Steven,

That's the reason for not using this crappy tools. Check the forum of the
registry cleaner software for help.

If it not exist and you do not wrote down what you have changed, i think
you have to reinstall your system.

Use lusrmgr.msc to open up group policy GUI. It is in Windows\system32.

Enter your user name, precisely the way you sign in into the group
Administrator. Do your system restore.

That failed find Computer services in Control Panel. Find the service you
need, click properties, edit Security tab, add yourselves as a user. Make
sure you have full rights checkbox checked. Close the GUI. Do your system
restore or whatever.

As the OP stated in the subject line, he's using Home Premium. The Group
Policy Manager will not load under Home Premium, so this won't help him.

I also have no good answer, sorry, I just wanted to point out the attempting
to run lusrmgr.msc will simply open MMC with a message that you can't open
the snap-in since you're running Home Premium.

Thanks. Is there any way to find a backup registry and replace the current
copy?
