I've installed SP2 in my unattended XP and everything worked great. Running SP2 now and need to continue developing my installation. I'm adding a program and need to import some registry settings to verify they work prior to adding the changes to my install. I get an error message stating 'Error accessing the registry'. I've never had this problem before under SP1. Is there a change in the way SP2 handles registry entries? (maybe a security feature??)

I loaded regedit and tried to import the settings that way and got the same results. Any clues? :)

Well, I waited for a few hours before posting a plea for some response. I guess no one else is experiencing this problem. I'll have to dig deeper and see if I can figure this one out. It's happening on two different computers running SP2. The file I'm trying to import is an export file from a computer running SP2. Don't understand why it won't let me import the data. A heavy google search and MS Knowledge base yielded no results.


I'll keep checking in hoping someone has seen this problem before.

Took me a while but I finally figured out the problem. I guess good old sleuthing still pays off. I'm amazed SP2 has this as a hidden feature.

When you discover what the problem is, you should post the solution so that others can learn from it... just a tip. :)
