Windows XP Service Pack 3 "Access Denied"

Do you know how irritating it is to get an "access denied" error message on
your own computer? Can somebody help me? This is on a modern HP desktop, HP
Pavilion a1630n.

First, make sure that your anti virus software isn't locking the registry
and preventing the installer from modifying the same.
