The error message say's "An access denied error was returned while attempting to change a service, you may need to log on an administrator account to make the specified changes". When i first turn my computer on it does not ask me to log on as a Administrator, so why is it asking me to, when i try to make the changes. Also in control panel/user accounts there is an icon with my name next to it, but when i try to open it nothing happens, there is no password setup in the account. 1 person needs an answerI do too

Your msconfig issue could be one of several things.Trying to change something in msconfig you get access denied error (but the change works). The message looks like this:An Access Denied error was returned while attempting to change a service.

This may not be a problem if you don't care about the communications or never use those HP features. You can also live with the message, knowing the changes really worked or ask HP and they will usually suggest reinstalling Windows (I don't think they know either!).Depending on your comfort level with making system changes, here are two solutions.http://www.ehow.com/how_4531999_fix-access-denied-error-using.htmlhttp://pchell.com/support/msconfig_access_denied_error.shtmlBefore making registry changes, backup your registry with this popular free and easy to use tool:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/erunt.htmlIt could also be NIS Norton Internet Security 2010 or NAV Norton Anti Virus 2010 when using XP SP3 (and maybe Vista) which you can read about here:http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Internet-Security-Norton/Problem-using-Windows-Configuration-Utility-since-upgrade-to-NIS/td-p/151164Don't guess what the problem might be - figure it out and fix it.
