It was installed by IT before I got the computer. I restarted it and it still didnt work.

I did fix it though by reinstalling the software under my separate admin account. ]]> RE: Registry access denied when changing settings https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/registry-access-denied-when-changing-settings/?ID=64a68649-0929-4637-960e-a30e195df4f2#2 Wed, 20 Nov 2019 19:22:20 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/registry-access-denied-when-changing-settings/?ID=64a68649-0929-4637-960e-a30e195df4f2#2 DisplayFusion To me this sounds like DisplayFusion was installed under a different user account and hasn't been restarted yet. If you exit DisplayFusion and restart it, does the Binary Fortress Software key get created in HKCU? ]]> Registry access denied when changing settings https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/registry-access-denied-when-changing-settings/?ID=64a68649-0929-4637-960e-a30e195df4f2 Wed, 20 Nov 2019 18:04:26 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/registry-access-denied-when-changing-settings/?ID=64a68649-0929-4637-960e-a30e195df4f2 DisplayFusion My work computer recently was replaced and some of the group policies and whatnot have changed. It looks like DisplayFusion uses HKEY_CURRENT_USER to save all relevant settings. That is where its getting denied access to. I dug into the registry and there is no Binary Fortress entry under HKCU\Software. Hence the error.

I looked through the registry and it looks like all of the Display Fusion entries are under HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-bunchofnumbers.

Is this something that I can fix? I can reinstall if needed. ]]>
