Hi,

Can you tell me what files in which it reports "access denied" in now? Does
it affect your normal operation of MSDN?



Best regards,

|That helped. Thanks!
|
|There was no "denied" access in the registry but some
|paths logged in FileMon were getting Access Denied with
|my non admin account. Adding extra permissions to the
|Microsoft Shared\Help and Application Data\Microsoft Help
|were changed.
|
|Now, the installing popups happen only once -- the first
|time accessed. Not the best but less of a nuisance.
|
|I tried noting, even revising permissions, for other
|access denied locations but expect this is not an
|entirely reliable indicator of the problem. Access denied
|is often logged just before or after the same file is
|opened successfully. This extends beyond my particular
|problem.
|
|Thanks. I do think this is a bug that should be
|addressed, even If it's something I did in installation!

Bradley:
You replied to my post on September 17 from the thread
beginning Sept 10 "B radley Jiang post hangs browser"

This is the second post of yours that causes my browser
to become unresponsive!
There's no way for me to force it to quit! It's totally
unresponsive and refuses to quit. Eventually I loose my
taskbar and Explorer.
This last time I had to reset my computer.

I've never had this problem with other posts.
Not sure what was in your last post. I can say the
problem I first reported is still happening.
