If anybody has problem in editing regedit and browsing gpedit.msc....i have a simpler solution.
Get a copy of registry key fromm a non infected computer and install it in your pc(caution:your system bust be thoroughly scanned from an updated antivirus first).
You can contact me if u need this.
IT works!!

Just tried the "gpedit.msc" fix on my machine and it worked fine, thanks.

I just used the steps for users not running XP Pro and it was simple, easy to follow, and worked fine the very first time. I didn't have to retry anything, restart my computer, none of that, it was repaired in seconds. Thank you very much for the information.

i cant install any software in xp,& i got massage u r task manager disabled, &u can cange setting witout check NCRC ..while double click on installer.

Thank you for the help. I was able to fix the problem but when I turn off my computer and turn it back on the problem comes back with pc-codec-pack that continually gives warning fatal error that my computer is not protected. It is a very annoying problem to continually fix. How can I completely remove this bogus software scam.
Thanks John
