Squeeto Posted November 29, 2010 Author Share Posted November 29, 2010 (edited) I would think something that is preventing (or service removed) access to the registry until after log on: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Hints\...Time for me to break out the vm again.

Squeeto Posted December 2, 2010 Author Share Posted December 2, 2010 I am only testing individual items. There could still be the possibility of failure due to combinations of two or more. Not:;# Operating System Options #Help and Support;# Services #HTTP SSLRemote RegistryTerminal ServicesText Services FrameworkThis could take months. If you have the same problem, post here and I will narrow the list.I believe that this may be specific to XP Home version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
