An Access Denied error was returned while attempting to change a service. You may need to log on using an Administrator account to make the specified changes. If you have an HP printer installed, the problem is most likely the HPZ12 service. The msconfig changes seem to work, but the error message is annoying. There is a possibility you will lose communications with your HP printer if you want to prevent the error message. This may not be a problem if you don't care about the communications or never use those HP features that require it. You can also live with the message, knowing the changes really worked or ask HP and they will usually suggest reinstalling Windows. Depending on your comfort level with making system changes, here are two workarounds. http://www.ehow.com/how_4531999_fix-access-denied-error-using.html http://pchell.com/support/msconfig_access_denied_error.shtml Before making registry changes, backup your registry with this popular free and easy to use tool: http://www.larshederer.homepage.t-online.de/erunt/

In Windows XP, there are two types of accounts, "limited" and "computer administrator". Having a "computer administrator" account is NOT the same as the "Administrator" account. In other words, *you* are the user and have a "computer administrator" account. There is a user called the "Administrator". It is detailed in the link I provided.
