Access denied in registry key Ultrahub 10-31-2005

I'm having a problem removing two registry keys.
I'm using XP(pro sp2). I'm logged in as admin and I always get 'acces denied
(5)' whenever I try to open the key in regedit. When I try to change the
permissions/ownweship for the key the result is always unable to change
permissions.

I've tried this in Safe Mode as well. I'm really stuck, I can't think of
what else to try.

HELP ME PLEASE!

Are you using regedit or regedt32? Try with the latter one.
