printer software on Gateway computer with Windows 2000? When I try to do the install, I get an error about not being able to write/create the registry files on my hard drive. Further investigation points me to not having the access to do so, but I have full administrative rights with this machine (I own it). Any suggestions? I have tried multiple user log ons to complete (someone else gave me that idea) but with no success. Thanks for any help.let me also state that HP can't do anything as they believe it's a windows issue. Microsoft wants 100 for me to email them a question. Just trying to get some free advice.
