Step 13
Start Regedt32.
Caution ![](../../../../../../../i/templates/blank.gif)
Changing the wrong registry key or entering an incorrect value can cause the server to malfunction. Before you edit the registry, confirm that you know how to restore it if a problem occurs. (Refer to the "Restoring" topics in Registry Editor Help.) If you have any questions about changing registry key settings, contact Cisco TAC.
Step 14
If you do not have a current backup of the registry, click Registry > Export Registry File, and save the registry settings to a file.
Step 15
For the registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Interstar Technologies,
reset the permissions and delete the key:

Select the key.
b.
On the Regedt32 menu, click Security > Permissions.
c.
