I am trying to do a clean boot, to try and get iTunes working but when I try to hide all Microsoft services it says an access error was returned, that I might need to log on as an administrator. I had only one user profile that was an administrator, and even tried creating another. Dont know what else to do, and Ive exhausted Itunes support options, they say it is a Windows issue.1 person needs an answerI do too

Do you mean you see a message like this:An Access Denied error was returned while attempting to change a service. You may need to log on using an Administrator account to make the specified changes.If you now or have ever had an HP printer installed, the problem is most likely the HPZ12 service.The msconfig changes seem to work, but the error message is annoying.There is a possibility you will lose communications with your HP printer if you want to prevent the error message. 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. They know about it, but dn't know hot to fix it. Things they don't know how to fix often end with the "reinstall Windows" solution (which of course is never a solution).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.htmlDescribe your current antivirus and anti malware situation: McAfee, Norton, Spybot, AVG, MSE, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc.It could also be NIS Norton Internet Security 2010 or NAV Norton Anti Virus 2010 when using XP SP3 (uusally Vista, sometimes XP).http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Internet-Security-Norton/Problem-using-Windows-Configuration-Utility-since-upgrade-to-NIS/td-p/151164Or you could use a free third partyy startup manager that does not have this problem of msconfig (which is not a startup manager). Please vote my posts as helpful so I can get lots of points. I am saving up for a pony!
