This article was previously published under Q169146 SUMMARY
When you attempt to run Network Monitor, you may receive the following
error message:
Admin permissions are required for running Netmon on this machine.
CAUSE
This error can be generated if you do not have Administrator rights on the
computer, and can also be caused by problems with the registry.
Some of the problems with the registry might include incorrect permissions
on the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Bh key and its
subkeys, or general registry problems such as the Maximum Registry Size
has been reached or exceeded.
RESOLUTION
Verify that you are an Administrator (or have administrator equivalency).
WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious
problems that
may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot
guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry
Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
For information about how to edit the registry, view the "Changing Keys
And Values" Help topic in Registry Editor (Regedit.exe) or the "Add and
Delete Information in the Registry" and "Edit Registry Data" Help topics
in Regedt32.exe. Note that you should back up the registry before you edit
it.
Make sure that the user you are logged on as has full control of the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\CurrentControlSet\Services\bh key and all of its
subkeys.
Make sure the Maximum Registry Size in the Control Panel System tool is
set appropriately. For example, make sure that the registry has some room
to grow and that the registry's size limit has not been exceeded.
