I installed Visual Studio 8 (2005) and found that I liked my old version better. I removed VS8 and reinstalled VS6. However, the installer fails because it can not register the "PDM.DLL." This is the Program Debugger DLL. I used RegMon to see what was happening with the following result:


3575 22.11528969 regsvr32.exe:2608 OpenKey HKCR SUCCESS Access: 0x2000000
3576 22.11536980 regsvr32.exe:2608 CreateKey HKCR\ProcessDebugManager.7 ACCESS DENIED Access: 0x2 BIGGIN\0x34
3577 22.11540222 regsvr32.exe:2608 CreateKey HKCR\ProcessDebugManager.7 ACCESS DENIED Access: 0x2 BIGGIN\0x34
3578 22.11541367 regsvr32.exe:2608 CloseKey HKCR SUCCESS

I entered the registry and found that I can not change or alter either of these two keys:

ProcessDebugManager
ProcessDebugManager.7

Now, I recently removed an L2M infection, which did alter my administrative account keys. Is it possible that it still has me locked out of altering other things in my registry?

Any help here would be GREATLY appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!
