Unable to read from the registry

I have a button on one of my forms that needs to read from the registry (get default web browser location).
When I am logged in as a member of the administrators group I can perform the operation. When I am logged in as a member of the Power Users group I cannot read the value.
Is this a known issue in Windows 2000 Professional? Is there a techincal paper or resource that shows this?
Or am I doing something incorrectly?
Please Help . . .

  • Media Encoder 6.0.3 : Unable to read from the source

    Hi !
    I'm using Premiere and Media Encoder in tandem for a while now for a big project, but since last week, something screwed up and I can't export from Media Encoder anymore. Every time I try to encode with Media Encoder, it tries to conect to the Dynamic Link server, and then fails to do so, and shows the error in the title. And since I cannot encode directly in Premiere (it just doesn't work, but that's nothing new), that means my project is on hold until the problem is fixed...
    I googled my problem and find some solutions. I tried to create shortcuts to Premiere in the dynamiclink and the Keyfiles/dynamiclink folder, but that didn't work.
    I uninstalled and reinstalled CS6 two times (the second time with the CC Cleaner Adobe provides to clean after uninstalling CS6), but that changed nothing.
    I tried to unlock the permissions to the folders of my project, but that didn't help to solve my problem.
    Now I'm out of ideas, so I post here, hoping for an answer. I'm almost certain the problem is from the Dynamic Link with Premiere, as the link between Premiere and After Effects doesn't work either (anything not related to Premiere works well though, After Effects can link with Media Encoder, but Premiere won't. The file is still being transfered to Media Encoder, but it can't start the encoding).
    I previously had CS5.5 on my computer (and maybe CS4, but I don't remember), but I'm almost sure all of them are all wiped now, with the CC Cleaner and all.
    I should mention that I'm using these softwares as part of the CS6 Master Collection (everything is up to date according to the Application Manager) on a Windows 7 x64 hardware

    Update : I created a new account on my computer to test if the problem still occurs. And surprisingly, it doesn't occur... I'm able to use the dynamic link properly, and all is up and running.
    It works as a workaround for now, but I would seriously like to solve the problem on my main account. So something is wrong on my main account. I checked my firewall, but that seems okay (no results even when my firewall is deactivated).
    I should mention that the path Media Encoder use to link with Premiere has non-ASCII characters in it (such as é, è, etc.). Could that be the cause ? If so, how can I change that path ? (currently to User/<username>/AppData/Local/Temp). Is there an option, or even an environment variable for that ?
    I've also noticed that the file created for the cache on my main account is slightly smaller than the one on my test account (749 ko on main and 778 ko on test). This should be the same file, so the weight should be the same... Could it be some kind of corruption that prevents dynamic link for working ?

  • Imposible to read from the jukebox

    Got problems from some time now. i easily can transfer data to my zen 20Go, but the copy from my zen to the puter is impossible now. It says "Impossible to read from the jukebox". I just dunno what to do, its nothing related to low battery, drivers and firmware not up to date... I did it all, nothing happens.
    Got many datas blocked on that zen!!
    Any ideas? Very urgent, thank you.
    Sorry, i primarly post that to the wrong section.

    It's a zen touch 20Gb
    Well, i did all the plugin/firmware/software updates i could find. My problem remains. In fact, the transfer begins, and it stops something like 20 seconds later with that "unable to read from the jukebox" message (thats why i thought it was due to low battery, but no), and all sto

  • Unable to read from Java MQ Queue in Unix

    Hi,
    I developed a small application that uses a scheduler as an input to a jcd. Once invoked, the jcd reads from a Java MQ queue and writes the result to the log.
    I developed the application on CAPS 6 in Solaris 10.
    We are however unable to read from the queue in Unix. The code returns an empty queue, even though the queue does have messages in it. Below is the code in the jcd used to read from the queue:
    int recCount = 0;
    +while (true) {+
    com.stc.connectors.jms.Message txtMsg = JMS_1.receiveNoWait();
    +// break out of loop, if no more messages+
    +if (txtMsg == null) {+
    logger.info( "Record Count is :: " recCount );+
    break;
    +}+
    recCount+;+
    +}+
    The same project, imported into CAPS 6 on a Windows platform, works without issue.
    Has anyone experienced compatability issues like this with Java MQ between Windows and Unix?
    Adt

    This is probably coz of the JMS header.
    Try setting MQJMS_CLIENT_NONJMS_MQ as the target client and also try retrieving the message as ByteStream rather than TextMessage.

  • Windows Easy Transfer (WET) Issues with External Hard Drive - "Can't read from the source file or disk"

    I work for Office Depot, in the tech department. Basically, one of our associates was supposed to do a data backup, and re-install Windows 7, then transfer the files back. He used Windows Easy Transfer and compacted everything into a 163 GB file. 
    Now comes the hard part. When we try to put it back on his computer ((drag-and-drop to the desktop) which has been wiped back to factory settings using the recovery partition), it stops at 79.5 GB remaining (you know how it doesn't give you a % of completion,
    it just shows how many GB are remaining) and then says "Can't read from the source file or disk" and gives you an option to try again, or cancel. It gets hung up on the same point each time.
    Normally, this wouldn't be a huge issue, but the contents on the drive are his wife's architect blueprints and interior design stuff, along with wedding photos, etc, which are the only copies they have. On top of those, they have court documents and other
    important files that we are unable to access now.
    I wasn't involved with this transfer, so I'm trying to clean up the mess as best I can. I remembered that the customer's wife was Russian, and had some files typed with a Russian keyboard, so on and so forth. I wonder if that's the issue? If not, I really
    have no idea how to manually extract things from a ".mig" file, or how to diagnose what area is potentially corrupted.
    In light of this situation, we tried using "Recuva" to recover the files post-wipe, but everything was corrupted or unable to be opened, and it also extracted and recovered all of the "useless" photos, such as the skype logos, up and
    down arrows for browsers, etc (it was 160,000+ photos).
    Trying to avoid a potential lawsuit, unhappy customer, and costing the company lots of money to see if professionals can get into this external hard drive.
    Other relevant information:
    We used a Toshiba 500 GB (465 GB) external hard drive.
    Customer's computer is an HP Pavilion P6000 Series (Model No. p6520y) running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Service Pack 1.
    Any other information that is needed can be provided, thanks in advance, and hopefully we can find a solution to this issue quickly!
    -John

    I think there's a lack of understanding somewhere.
    "If you even can't start the process, please unplug it from your new PC. Then head back to your new computer and plug
    the external drive back in to your new computer. "
    Unplug from new, head back to new, plug it back in? That doesn't make much sense! Haha.
    I knew what you meant though, somewhat. When I search through the drives after clicking yes (Has windows easy transfer
    already saved your files blah blah blah) I click on the transfer file and it says "Windows Easy Transfer could not open the file".
    Rather than drag-and-drop the file to the desktop, I now tried to double-click on the file itself while it was plugged
    into the computer. It opened, and it started transferring until it was about 70% completed, and then an error popped up saying "WET can't open the easy transfer file, make sure your USB device is plugged in or check your internet connection". 
    I checked, and the USB hard drive's light wasn't on. Now, I unplug it and plug it back in, and the light comes back on,
    so I click Retry, and it resets the bar back to nothing and says "Transfer time: 1 minute".
    Rather than continue trying, I clicked "Cancel" instead of Retry, and it says "Your transfer did not complete successfully."
    It says to click "view report" for more information, but there's no "view report button".
    At the moment, I am scanning the External Drive for bad sectors using the check disk tool in properties. It's frozen
    at "0 USN bytes processed".

  • Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted

    hi all,
    when i try to render a afx project from media encoder i get the following message
    "Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted"
    i've read on the forum that this is due to an old installation of Premiere.
    I'm using a brand new computer. the only software installed is my cs5 master collection and the updates from adobe website.
    win7 pro
    i7
    16 gig ram
    cheers
    s

    Hello, this is terrible problem, which i found in CS 6 softwares ...
    solution i found only working, is uninstall and reinstall full package.. but it is not all,
    you need to do BRAND NEW admin account in windows, and install it there.
    that means, i could not export after repair from encoder in my original account never more (!!)   .. this is really terrible way how to repair this issue, because :
    1.by reinstalling of software, client WASTE HIS TIME
    2.by necessity to begin work in another windows profile you again WASTE YOUR TIME because of learning and migrating all other profile modifications, which i see really unaccpetable. Adobe means, this solution of repair is ok, and they did not do till today any steps of creating some "clever" solution.
    I ask everybody, who will meet this issue in future, guys, please, complain about this situation, give "BUG Report" to them, and write "feature request" to them , in the way of creating some repair tool, which check actual  "broken" connections between encoder and premiere, which refuses to "take material" from it and encode, and REPAIR it automatically..  
       I am not IT, but ..does it seems so hard to create this ? Adobe IT developers should know their systems, and should create such utility tool really easy.
    Steps to reproduce bug:
    1. i export anything by button "queue" from premiere to Encoder
    2. Encoder will start encoding
    3. Encoder does not show the window of media encoding (down left )
    Results: sound of sheep occur,
    in encoding error file is this reason of canceling the encoding :
    01/02/2014 10:10:48 AM : Encoding Failed
    Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted.
    History of this problem and detailed description, HOW i did "repair" this. With wasting of app 2,5 days of my working time :
    1. after repairing "error 5" problem , i solved it by reinstalling the suite from the new admin user profile (profile B) . 
    I continued my work on my normal working windows profile . (profile A)
    Every cooperation (AE+Pr, export media via "queue" to Encoder) was working fine . . .
    2. suddenly it stop working (without knowing any possible reason - i did not do installations )
    and showed in error export log file :
    "Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted."
    3.repair via procedure(procedure "a"):
    i did this procedure on the profile B (profile from last time installation of repairing problem error 5)
    I did these steps :
    a-uninstall master coll suite
    b-i used Adobe cleaner tool (remove ALL)
    c-removed raw directories in locations
    •C:\Program Files\Adobe
    •C:\Program Files(x86)\Adobe
    •C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe
    •C:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Adobe
    •C:\ProgramData\Adobe
    d-removed these links from registry file
    •HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe
    •HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe
    •HKEY_LOCAL_MACH INE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Adobe
    •HKEY_CURRENT_USER \Software\Wow6432Node\Adobe
    e-restarted the PC
    f- newly installed the Master Coll CS6
    g-update the software
    result of repair of "3" : problem still exists
    4.Ok i find out after coordination with support, it should have been created  ANOTHER NEW admin account.
    4a:so i did the same procedure (uninstalling) in profile B
    4b: and then i created brand new admin profile (profile C)for INSTALLATION of software
    4c: restarted the pc (and did not updated it yet)
    result :
    ==exporting of any sequence/raw/AE link video material from premiere via "queue" (Encoder) (profile C) : export WORKS
    ==exporting of any sequence/raw/AE link video material from premiere via "queue" (Encoder) (profile B) : export WORKS
    ==exporting of any sequence/raw/AE link video material from premiere via "queue" (Encoder) (profile A) : export DOES NOT WORK ! ! !
    (in profile A, is possible to export some raw video material in encoder which is imported to it via "drag and drop)
    problem i see:, i have my basic profile A, which i am interested to work, because of all my directory modifications are in there..
    this issue should be some "broken" connections between encoder and premiere, which refuses to "take material" from it and encode.
    what i expect :
    to get from Adobe some repair tool, which automatically checks these connections and repair if necessary, without necessity of founding the new profile and reinstallation of whole software.. this is madness !
    what i do NOT expect from Adobe:
    to get from Adobe advice of kind : you have to reinstall full software in new admin profile. sorry , we do not know the solution, because we do not know, how do behave our software.

  • Using WQL "one-liner" to extract a value from the registry

  • Zen Xtra (Nomad) - Unable to read from device error (have tried everythi

    Recently, I've been having problems with my Creative Zen Xtra Nomad mp3 player. One day it started freezing and lagging massi'vely when I would enter nomad explorer. Now it's virtually impossible to drag and drop something from nomad explorer to my computer or vise versa (keep getting the unable to read from device error). However, sometimes I am able to get an mp3 or two after about 5 minutes of transfer time.
    I have no idea why it is doing this. One day I'm transferring my data back and forth with no problem, and the very next day I am getting this freezing, lagging, and errors when trying to transfer. The only thing that changed was me formatting my computer in between it working and it not working, but I did reinstall the driver and nomad explorer once I formatted (I'm also using the same USB 2.0 cable, but it worked fine the day before, so I am pretty sure that's not part of the problem). I was using the mp3 player to store about 0 GB worth of data for when I formatted, and now I'm unable to retrieve virtually any of it. I've tried everything under the PC Connectivity link short of formatting the mp3 hard dri've (and that is not an option because I need the files). I took it to a friends house to try on his computer, but it acted the same way. I'm completely stumped. Is there anything I haven't ruled out? Also, I'm running Windows XP Pro SP2, and I was using SP2 before the format as well if that has any relevance.
    Please let me know if I've left out any important information relevant to this issue. Any help would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Never use MP3 players to store important data, or as a single point of storage for any data (that includes keeping a backup of the player's audio tracks). You can have problems like this with accessing the data, as well as simply dropping the player and losing the lot.
    There are a couple of methods I've seen that have worked to retrieve data:
    . Driver update - either update to the latest drivers, or nonsensically downgrade to the drivers that come on the install CD.
    2. Notmad Explorer - use the Xtreamer function in Notmad Explorer's trial version (which is free) to access the data and download it. It will be tedious, because I assume you have to download one file at a time.
    As for your general problem, I would try using Creative's MediaSource instead of Nomad Explorer to access the player (people generally don't have good experiences with Nomad Explorer).
    Also make sure you download the latest versions of the drivers (taking above into account), MediaSource, and the MediaSource plugin from Nomadworld.com downloads.
    Once you have the data off (hopefully!) you might simply want to reformat it if none of the above hel

  • Unable to read from Jukebox Need Urgent he

    Need help, fast, Only got and a half day left to get my Creative Zen Touch to work, I have tons of important files in it and I need it badly!I'v been using my Zen touch as a storage device like a USB or sumthin, newaiz, I just upgraded the firmware to .0.03, from .00.06 to .0.03 to be more detailed. I have read some other posts relating to this kind of matter, I tried the ... Disc Clean Up solution, downloading the latest software except those CD burners program, I uninstalled all of my Creative Programs and installed an older version of the program and still didnt work then I upgraded those program and still wont work. Went to read the FAQs, couldnt find any answers. Can anyone please give me a useful response? I need it badly Please be fully detailed, I am not very familiar with shortcut details. Thanks

So now that I have reformatted and reinstalled everything I try and copy it all back from the Data Library section of my player using Nomad Explorer and end up waiting a few minutes while the software decideds if it will freeze or not before ending up with an error of: "unable to read from jukebox device"

  • "Unable to read from or write to your play

    When I go to create a playlist with the music that is already on my Zen, this pops up. Why isnt it working? Its probably something really simple that I overlooked... but Im stumped. I came here as a last resort

    I received this same message and came on here to find some help. I am using the new Creative Zen, 6 gig.
    I am using a Windows Vista computer.
    When the player is docked and I am using the Zen Media Explorer, I go to "create playlists"
    The player loads, I can see all of my files and most of my music on the creative playlist wizard. I clicked on one file (containing most of my music) and this message pops up. "Unable to read from or write to your player"

    I have a new Creative Zen 6G and am using Windows Vista. While using the Creative Media Organizer, I tried to create a new playlist. The player shows all my folders, and when I try to open the folder that contains the majority of my music, the message "Unable to read from or write to your player" appears. Does anyone know what this message means or what I have to do to fix it's Thank you-Melissa

    Have you tried adding from a folder rather than iPhoto to see if that makes a difference? Create a folder on your hard drive called called "iPod Photos" or something similar and drag the photos you want on your iPod to it. Under the photo preferences for the iPod, point iTunes to "synchronize photos from" and choose to update from your new folder.
