Thanks but I am the software author and trying to debug it. The sforware
(a DLL) gets invalid handle when writing to the registry but can read it
fine. I try to add a test key under Perflib\009 using regedit but it
gave me "Cannot write to regsitry". Trying to change the permission of
Perflib\009 in regedit, gives Inavlid handle. I tried it with several
other keys (including \Perflib itself) and all worked fine. What can be
different with 009? All the permissions seem to be the same as any other.

Probably the best place for you to ask this is in a developer's forum. Try
the MSDN forums:
