Deleting a registry key Options

[WS]

Hello

I need to delete a registry key for a software that needs
reinstallation. I get the following error message in the registry
editor:


Error while deleting registry key LEGACY_VMNETBRIDGE: Error while
deleting key


How can i fix the problem? I already tried a registry cleaner, and
tried doing it from safe mode, but couldn't delete it.


Any help is appreciated.

Hi,

Did you check permissions on that key to see if you have a sufficient level
to delete it?

You have to run regedit.exe as administrator.
Search for regedit on start menu then right click and choose run as
administrator.
Should work.

regedit asks for elevation, no need to do so by right click (provided UAC is
in it's default configuration, of course)..

This seems to be everyone's solution so I'm guessing this answer HAS to be
right but nothing I try seems to work; I'm having this problem too. I have a
camera that has worked on this computer for almost a year and all of a sudden
the camera will not transfer pictures. I called Kodak, Kodak states they
cannot help me - it is a Toshiba (system) issue; I called Toshiba and they
claim they cannot help me - it is a microsoft issue.

I do not get an error code just "Cannot delete VID_0000&PID_0000: Error
while deleting key."

I have tried changing permissions, running regedit under administrator, and
a few other suggestions but nothing seems to work. I am not so sure that it
has anything to do with permissions because i am the only person that ever
gets on this computer.

Although, I will note that some permissions I changed just added a "new"
category --- for example, I already had "everyone" and when I clicked "edit"
and changed the permissions, I now had two "everyone"s.

My warranty runs out soon and I think Kodak is only trying to hold out until
they do not have anything to cover --- I've asked them several times for a
new USB cable. I need to get these pictures off my camera and my memory card
in time for Christmas; there are other options such as transferring them onto
disk at a store; but that sort of defeats my purpose for the camera and the
software!

Can anyone help with any type of new solutions?
