[sweetdiesel]

I currently have 3 laptops and 2 have EFI

the other day 2 of the 3 crashed hard and are being fixed
I need to install EFI on my work computer but cant get it to work?

ive tried the latest version and the old version from a EFI cd

here is the error: Cannot open C/doc and setting/ simon orford/my documents/efi live / 7.5/userconfig/calc pids/ accsess denied
any ideas of what im doing wrong?

Try the following:

1) Backup your 'C:\Program Files\EFILive' and 'My Documents\EFILive' folders
2) Uninstall all EFILive software and drivers
3) Delete the 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\EFILive' registry key usng 'regedit'
4) Install the new software and drivers

There are no know issues that I am aware of with software installation, other than Admin privileges on Vista (you still appear to be running XP at the latest.

this computer is XP i never had any major issues with my vista and the old computer was also XP

Sorry but i couldnt find where HKEY was? Is it in EFI in the program files or my documents? I even tried searching with the search feature and no luck

Im at the point where im going to just buy a new laptop now as this is driving me nuts and I have some big issues with teh truck and need my EFI to work


I really apreciate the help thankyou

[sweetdiesel]

cannot be removed simce im not allowed accsess to the non shared file?

i think this has something to do with the other peoples files on this computer
I DL the lastest version but also cant remove the file because of accsess????

Are you able to make your user account a member of the 'Administrators' group? This can be done in Computer Management under Local Users and Groups.

It definitely sounds like a permissions/access issue.
