ODBC driver manager

Hello,

I tried to install a new software program without success.

I keep getting the message "Could not write to the registry ODBC driver manager..
How can this be fixed?
Thank you in advance for helping me with this.

What is the program, and what does its vendor say about problems like this?

Patrick,

The program is by Data Becker '30,000 Business Cards'. I purchased it at a
local software vendor.
The CD lists 2006 Topics Entertainment, Inc. There is a site for tech
support www.topics-ent.com/support. It's somewhat difficult to navigate. I
am working on it.

OK, that helps. Are you using an administrator-level account?

What appears to be happening is that the app uses a database component,
which keeps its settings in the registry, and there is a permissions issue
preventing it from doing this.

This would be likely if you were using some sort of limited account, but
it's also possible that you need to get into a specific spot in the registry
and reset the permissions to full control for a specific user. However, to
do this, you have to know where in the registry you need to go (and your
account must be admin-level). You could identify it by examining the
registry on a system that it did install and run on.
