I have installed the 'Unofficial Windows 98SE Service Pack' and included the Tweak UI utility...the only thing is, when I try to run this utility, 'Tweak UI has been disabled by your administrator.'.

I don't understand this...since there are no accounts on my PC.

Any remedy?

That's the setting in the registry you want to modify or delete :

HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
"DisableRegistryTools"=dword:00000001

Obviously you can't do it with Regedit as it's use is also blocked by this policy setting.

You can use either a third party registry editor, MS Poledit or easier, the freeware Regtick :

Go in the "System" page and untick the "Disable MS Registry Tools" checkbox on the top left of the page

This should get you sorted.

and if this does not work, re-install Win98 SE from scratch as you might have bad or corrupted registry entries that prevent using TweakUI.

Actually, I can still use Regedit, but I'll try that anyways!

A format and reload...it isn't THAT important to me! Haha.

I'll let ya know if it works!

Thanks alot man, works perfectly! I just went in and deleted that value...works fine now!

Again, thanks alot for your time and help.

That's interesting. Normally Regedit should also be blocked by this setting. At least it is on my ME system. Did you modify something of Regedit such as it's location and/or name ?

by the way, ashleypower, what version of TweakUI are you using? Latest version of TweakUI for Windows 9x/ME is version 1.33 which I am using.
