The only thing I seem to be able to find at the Microsoft site all deals
with some version of office. I tried some of the first few suggestions but I
could not find anything that was actually applicable.

At the Symantec site mostly talked about going in and resetting the
permissions for HKLM but whenever I try that I just get a different saying
cannot open error while opening file or an error saying that I don't have
adminstrative privlages.

The brandeis link delt with the Norton Corporate edition but it suggested
trying the SymNRT removal utilities, so I tried that the program ran
successfully but still I have the same problem.

The expert exchange looks like it might have some relavent data but I don't
have a paid membership so I really don't have access to the solution.

Board blog was really only for a Mac it linked back to the symantec site for
Symantec Norton AntiVirus for Macintosh DiskMountNotify Local Privilege
Escalation and the adobe link tells you to set the permissions to inherit
which I cannot do at this time.

The microsoft
http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=k...id=2509&sid=54 but only
applies to windows 98, 98se & me no help there.

Near as I can tell Zone Alarm has never been on the system

http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT...01092114452606 is for
NAV 2003 or earlier for newer you must use
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT...05033108162039
but even after this I am still receiving the same error.

I have found countless messages on board that deal with error 1402 and the
vast majority of them deal with some kind of permission on the registry key.

Any other ideas or on a way to narrow the seach down to actually find a
solution?

Thanks
Vic

Vic

Some general ideas that occur to me are:

1 Export the registry key / hive at the lowest point you can get to, edit it
externally (it should be just text) re import it. (name it a .reg file and
you should be able to just double click it)

2 Try one of the 'registry compacting' tools and see if that will remove it
seeing the parent program is no longer there.

3 Try another Registry Editor eg:
http://www.resplendence.com/download/reglite.exe ,
or a pile of tools here
http://www.freewarefind.com/archives...try_tools.html

4 Copy the Registry (System.dat & User.dat) edit them on another PC, replace
them while booted from DOS or a Linux boot CD on the original PC.

5 You have a Virus on the machine that is denying you access, Online scan,
burn a UBCD with latest virus def's & scan.

6 (You're gonna luv this one) There is no 'fault' with the software but a
fault with the hard drive. I had a machine suddenly asking for a password
where there had never been one used (at all) before. Tried all the password
hack's, turned out to be a dying hard drive. Logical when you think about
it, dying drive, odd bits 'flip', just needs one bit to 'flip' in your
registry file that happens to mean 'no access' or password required and
nothing short of a bomb is gonna fix that.

Best luck
Paul.

If you read the article (236427) , it says Office 2000.

The error code and message are the same, the effect is the same. It's
assumed one of the suggestions , scanreg didn't work. You didn't say.

Did you change ownership? Taking an accurate note of current settings to
change back.

Then it didn't work, running the program is one thing doing the fix is
another.

I don't , I simply scroll down the page and read the threads. Never had
to subscribe, or you can subscribe.

Wow, what a lot of info. Getting feedback is one thing , a novel of
replies is another.

You may not have realised the links found on Google were from a simple
search for you to look at, they wern't exact answers, that's called
reading and research, refining the search.

If some of the links didn't suit you run the search again and read some
of the many other links.

If you aren't using a MAC it makes sense, or it's a windup by now.

At the top of the article - View products that this article applies to.

At the bottom of the article , in the applies to list -
• Microsoft Office XP Standard Edition
• Microsoft Office XP Professional Edition
• Microsoft Office XP Small Business Edition
• Microsoft Office XP Standard Edition

You should know?

Yes it says that, but it also mentions Nav 2005 which was what you asked
about.

Why are you repeating everything?

A simple, thanks for the help, several of the links didn't lead
anywhere, tried scanreg and changing permissions didn't work.
Do you have any more suggestions.

All of your epic reply replaced by not so many lines.

Your registry is broken. Take the easy route, backup everything
important, several times test the backup will restore. Reformat an
reinstall.
