    When I try to run QuickTime I get an Error #-2095 alert. When I click
    Run As Administrator it opens OK.

    I am the owner and sole user of the computer!

    How do a give full permissions to myself?

    I tried going to the program file, opening properties and then the
    Permissions tab. There are 3 entries in the top window:

    SYSTEM
    Administrator (EUSTACE PC\Adminstrators)
    Users (EUSTACE PC\Users)

    When I click the last, in the lower window I see checked only Read &
    Execute and Read, not Full control and the others.

    I clicked Edit, and added checkmarks to everything (except Special
    Permissions that I can't).

    I click OK and return to the former dialog, but the permissions for
    Users have not changed.

    When I click Advanced I see 4 lines. Lines 2 and 3 are System and
    Administrator. Lines 1 and 4 are:

    Allow Users (EUSTACE PC\Users) Full Control <not inherited>
    Allow Users (EUSTACE PC\Users) Read & Execute C:\Program Files\

    Is the second line necessary?

    If I highlight it and click Edit and then highlight it again and click
    Edit, check Full control, OK, the dialog closes and in the first dialog
    the line 1 is highlighted and line 4 is the same.

    What should I do?

    Thanks,

    Eustace

    It may be a registry key permission that is causing the problem.

    I see in the list of Group of User names the following:

    CREATOR OWNER
    SYSTEM
    Administrator (EUSTACE PC\Administrator)
    Users (EUSTACE PC\Users)
    TrustedInstaller

    I checked Modify in Users but it didn't work...

    Any other ideas?

    I had seem that thread before posting here, but I do not think it
    applies to my case: there is no problem with assigning permissions to
    other users. Let's see:

    When in the Registry I highlight QuickTime and click Edit > Permissions,
    there are 4 groups/users in the list:

    CREATOR/OWNER
    SYSTEM
    Administrator...
    Users...

    I have added Full Control to the Users (me). No effect.

    Anything else?

    Try uninstalling Quicktime and installing again, only this time right-click
    the install exe and select ' Run as administrator'.

    Use Process Monitor 'Process Monitor'
    (    )

    to diagnose issue with permissions

    Are the boxes by any change grey? If so, then the permissions are inherited
    and can only be changed by an administrator.

    An administrator changes permissions by selecting the "advanced permissions"
    box. This brings up a menu of special permissions (which give finer
    control) and it also include the box which disables inherited permissions.
    Then you revert back to the original permissions page and give your user
    level account full control.
    As an aside, it is ill advised to use the built in administrator account for
    any purpose other than emergency repair. Just create another member of the
    administrators group for every day tasks.
    It is also strange that the user names do not include NETWORK_SERVICE and
    LOCAL_SERVICE. Windows uses these two accounts to start programs which do
    not need full permissions.

    Can you give a bit more detail about how you use Process Monitor to report file permission problems ?
    I have played around with Process Monitor and have never seen that feature explained anywhere.
    Thanks.

    The file is probably owned by TrustedInstaller.

    You need to take ownership of the file.

    Right-click icon
    Select Properties
    Click Securities tab
    Click Advanced button
    Click Owner tab

    If the Current owner is TrustedInstaller click the Edit... button and change
    it to Administrators or yourself.

    1.Run Process Monitor
    2.Do action where you suspect trouble with permissions (in this thread
    -run Quick Time)
    3.In PM go to filter tab and add filter RESULT is ACCESS DENIED (click
    ADD and next APPLY bottons)
    (images below)

    Please also note in practice the only few of alerts which PM report are
    truly alerts.There is no golden rule to differentiate false and true
    alerts - you have to check manualy.When you'll eliminate truly
    alerts,false alerts disappear in PM as well -dominoes effect

    I followed the directions you gave in other message and I got the following:

    QuickTimePlayer.exe 2488 RegOpenKey
    HKCU\Software\VirtualStore\MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Apple Computer.Inc\QuickTime
    ACCESS DENIED Denied Access Read

    QuickTimePlayer.exe 2488 RegOpenKey
    HKCU\Software\VirtualStore\MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Apple Computer.Inc\QuickTime
    ACCESS DENIED Denied Access Query Value

    The last line was repeated 4 times. What do you make of it?

    And BTW why there are so many other Access Denied items?

    I am afraid I made some mistake. I changed it to

    Eustace (EUSTACE PC\Eustace

    and now when I try to open it as Adminstrator the User Account Control
    alert appears asking me to Continue... Before it didn't do that. When I
    click it to open it the same error alert appears as before.

    Make sure your account,SYSTEM account and Administrators group have
    full control to this key and it's subkeys if they are.

    tool...Details ask Mark Russonovic [​IMG]

    FWIW

    Sometimes PM don't detect at once all errors.Sometimes you have to run
    many times this tool to detect & correct all errors.

    Uninstall again but apart classic deinstallation through Control
    Panel>>Programs and Features,remove manually all QuickTime folders &
    keys (check also user profile -in C:\Users\<your account>\AppData) -of
    course be careful when you'll do.Next try again install QuickTime and
    make sure this is the newest version.
