And the error message in this case is what?

You can always use standard RegEdit tool to check what was there 
actually written in registry and what was not.

Everybody has some experience about Win Registry.

So you have the D5 source code, but you are not goint to touch it at 
all? In that case THIS is not the right group for your question.

You could then ask this registry related question in some general 
windows\applications group. And also contact the original sofware 
developer who could maybe fix the problem.

IF you are going to try to fix it, you first have to start checking to 
which registry hives does the app read and write. Then check and see 
what was actually written, and at which phase.

Check if the problem has something to do with (Vista/Win7) strict UAC 
control. If it was, maybe you have to use some other registry hives 
instead, that have less restrictions and safety control.

If these do not bring the answer, then, well.. just continue scratching 
your head. This is part of the usual, daily software developer burden.

Yet if you decided that you not going to touch the code, then you are 
lucky as that bug beast will not bite you this time at all.<g>
