Re: Desktop Utilities error 1401

fringelife,

 

This error has nothing to do with BIOS; it's strictly an issue at the IDU installer level. It seems like you've somehow developed some sort of corruption (or interlock/permission issue) in your registry. If you are daring, here is something you can try:

 

1. Right click on the start button and invoke "Command Prompt (admin)".

2. Start Registry Editor using command "regedit".

2. Browse to key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Intel".

3. Delete subkey "Desktop Board" (Right click on subkey "Desktop Board" and select Delete. Select "yes" when asked to permanently delete this key and all subkeys - but only after verifying you did indeed select subkey "Desktop Board" for deletion)

5. Close Registry Editor.

6. Close Command Prompt.

7. Re-attempt IDU install (right click on the IDU Setup.exe file and choose "Run as Administrator").

 

If you are a little leery about doing something at this level, I can prepare a registry merge file that does this for you...
