Trying to update to XPSP2 and hours later it comes up with access denied when
trying to change the registry @ SSDPSRV. I have tried changing the
Permissions and manual changing this registry entry, but it fails every time.
This is has 256 ever increasing string entries (some bizare hocky scheme of
finding UPnP...). The point is it will not change, hence SP2 install will
fail. Can not seem to effect it in anyway. Yes, I am logged as Admin, yes I
have played with the permission of SSDPSRV. There is a set under
ControlSet001 and ControlSet003 (no clue what that is)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\SSDPSRV
