How to correct this problem?
I am signed in as admin.

I installed NOD32 could that have altered something? some anti virus have registry protection.

This thread suggest something *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=33311
Start -> Run and type gpedit.msc, in:

User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System

Set Prevent access to registry editing tools to Not Configured.

but in vista I dont see any options Set Prevent access to registry editing tools did the virus hide that??

This method should work in all editions of Windows Vista

* Download reg_enable.vbs attached at the end of this article, and save it to Desktop
* Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or click Allow.
* Switch to your Desktop directory by typing the following command, and then pressing ENTER:

cd /d %userprofile%\desktop

* Then, type the following command and press ENTER

wscript.exe reg_enable.vbs

* Type EXIT to close the Command Prompt window.

If everything worked fine, the DisableRegistryTools policy should have been removed by now. See if you're able to launch Regedit.exe now.
