XPS 1210 STARTUP ERROR MESSAGE

I recently installed Vista upgrade and get the below error. I tried following the recommended fix below, but it still pops up. Anysuggestions to fix this? Thanks.     Problem

At the end of a software installation, the following error occurs:

-5 : "The operating system could not schedule Update Manager to start on system startup."
More Information

The error occurs because the application is unable to write to the registry during the installation. This prevents the Update Manager from running a scheduled (daily, weekly, or monthly) check for updates.

Fix

Reload the Update Manager from the command line.

  1. Select Start > Run.
  2. In the Open field, type:

    "C:\Program Files\Common Files\InstallShield\UpdateService\ISUSPM.EXE" -bootstrap

  3. Press Enter. The Update Manager should start.

You may choose to ignore this error. However, if you ignore this error, you will have to manually check for updates. For more information, see Changing Settings

    Go to Start type Program Updates on the list right click on it, and click RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR, click to allow, then just close the Update Manager window if you don't want to work on that, restart the computer and hopefully you won't see that message again.
