Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! Brilliant. After hours and days of research yours is the only fix that fixed it. I am running Office 2003 & 2007 on Vista.

What amazes me is that I didn’t always have this problem. I wonder what program messed up the permissions in the first place.

Hi,

My auto-config network connections (both LAN and Wireless) still not working after applying this change. I think I still can live with the Office error rather than not being able to connect to any other wireless/wired routers (except my home router).

Is there a way to undo the “subinacl /subkeyreg” changes above?

Thank you in advance for any help.

I have the problem but my registry permissions seem to be set correctly. Any ideas? Sorry if I missed this in the thread.

Thank you. It works for me. However, after reboot, my network connection didn’t come up. I have to manually configure the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway and default DNS server before it works again.

The problem is I oftenly go out of town, thus will need auto-config for my wireless connection. Did anyone ever get the same problem like me? I am using Vista SP1 Home Edition and Office 2007 Professional.

Thanks in advance.
