msconfig error message

Every time I try to make a change to start up using msconfig I get the
following error message

"An access denied error was returned while attempting to change a service.
You may need to log on with an Administrator account to make the specified
changes"

It then gives you the typical resart your computer now or later. I get this
message even though I am logged on as an admin.

When I do restart the computer the changes I wanted to make were made, so
this error is really nothing more than a nuisance, however does anyone know
why I get this error and what I can do about it?

I have been getting the same error message. I have read in several
forums about this annoying little bugger. Many posters want to place
blame on ZoneAlarm and/or HP printers. I have never had ZA, so that
wouldn't be the case with me, however, I do have an HP PSC 1401. I
would appreciate any help anyone can give.
