Access denied error when trying to turn off processes in m..

If there was no problem of running MSCONFIG, it is most likely that a
third-party security program (firewall or antispyware, for example) or other
software causes the interference and bogus alert. Ignore the error. Make
changes then reboot, those changes are effected.

Yes I do have an hp printer installed but it has been there for some time and
I have used the msconfig during that time. The access denied message comes up
no matter what I try to do in msconfig and ignoring and rebooting only brings
up a further message after reboot which indicates that the program is running
in selective mood and when normatl mood is selected it undoes all the changes
I have made. I have tried this removing only one insignificant process and it
still will not ultimately allow me to remove anything. I have 58 processes
running and would really like to free up some memory for the new Epson 7880
printer. Thanks for your help and any further suggestions.

I did disable McAfee but still had the same problem. The access denied
message comes up no matter what I try to do in msconfig and ignoring and
rebooting only brings up a further message after reboot which indicates that
the program is running in selective mood and when normatl mood is selected it
undoes all the changes I have made. I have tried this removing only one
insignificant process and it still will not ultimately allow me to remove
anything. I have 58 processes running and would really like to free up some
memory for the new Epson 7880 printer.

Is there some other place that I could try to change something to see if I
am recognezed as the administrator.

Thanks for your help and any further suggestions.
