1. IN XP, if you have NTFS you may be trying to write to a path that is 
readonly. Check your permissions before writing.

Also the Program Files path in XP is readonly. Microsoft recommends 
using the Documents and Settings\All Usres\Application Data path for
data files. This is readonly by default - so you want to change the 
permisions of any path you create in there, when creating your 
datafiles. Do not place your data in the same place as your programs.


2. In XP, certain parts of the registry - HKLM is readonly but you can
write to if you are an administrator. Check this. Maybe you are writing 
to HKLM as a non-administrator.

hope this helps.
