Greymanz Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Decided to post this since no one has ever had the same problem. I recently got a new Hard Drive and Webroot, a known antivirus. I recently opened PDN, to make a cool image to use as a profile pic. I could not save, no matter what. Wasnt a JPG, didnt lost transparency, I cannot save AT ALL. This is the error text I get: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the registry key 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\paint.net' is denied. at Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey.Win32Error(Int32 errorCode, String str) at Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey.CreateSubKeyInternal(String subkey, RegistryKeyPermissionCheck permissionCheck, Object registrySecurityObj, RegistryOptions registryOptions) at Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey.CreateSubKey(String subkey, RegistryKeyPermissionCheck permissionCheck) at PaintDotNet.SystemLayer.RegistrySettings.CreateSettingsKey(Boolean writable) in d:\src\pdn\paintdotnet\src\SystemLayer\RegistrySettings.cs:line 69 at PaintDotNet.SystemLayer.RegistrySettings.SetObject(String key, Object value) in d:\src\pdn\paintdotnet\src\SystemLayer\RegistrySettings.cs:line 169 at PaintDotNet.FileType.Save(Document input, Stream output, SaveConfigToken token, Surface scratchSurface, ProgressEventHandler callback, Boolean rememberToken) in d:\src\pdn\paintdotnet\src\Data\FileType.cs:line 278 at PaintDotNet.Controls.DocumentWorkspace.<>c__DisplayClass30.<DoSave>b__28() in d:\src\pdn\paintdotnet\src\PaintDotNet\Controls\DocumentWorkspace.cs:line 2969 at PaintDotNet.Functional.Func.Try(Action f) in d:\src\pdn\paintdotnet\src\Base\Functional\Func.cs:line 174 Help?

BoltBait Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 I think you need to scan your system for viruses and malware. Quote Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and a Free Computer Dominos Game
Greymanz Posted June 10, 2015 Author Posted June 10, 2015 I have, I just sent it to best buy and it came back like this. I have WebRoot, a very good antivirus. I think it has something to do with hte antivirus itself. Can anyone who understands the error log tell me how to fix it? Quote
BoltBait Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Something is preventing paint.net from accessing the registry. This key shouldn't be protected. Usually, malware makes your registry read-only in order to prevent you from removing the malware. Maybe your virus software is doing the same thing. What you need to do is run regedit and right-click on computer\hkey_current_user\software\paint.net key and choose Permissions... then click "Advanced" button to see why you can't modify that key.

Greymanz Posted June 10, 2015 Author Posted June 10, 2015 I fixed it! Thanks, it wasn't given Full Control nor was it given inheritable traits. I assume the Geek Squad Agents I gave it to thought it was malware and prevented it from doing so while accessing the registry. Quote
