Thank you for the response. I have both HIVE keys set up for Owner = Administrator. And the edit keys in DCOMcnfg are still grayed even after i tried a reboot. I work in the IT department and I am logged in and part of the Administrator group.

Must be Administrators - plural.
When you are finished, put the ownership back to TrustedInstaller by doing a copy/paste of the following in the ownership dialog box and clicking "check names".....
NT SERVICE\TrustedInstaller
Ok I took a look one more time and verified everything is done coreectly. open regedit with admin rights, navigate to HKeyClassesRoot\CLSId and found id in question, right click then Permissions and temporarily change owner from TrustedInstaller to Administrators.
Same for HKEYLocalMachine\Appid.
I could use Administrators with an S. Got this error message. An object (User, Group, or Built-in security principal) with the following name cannot be found. "Administrators". Check the selected object types and locations for accuracy and ensure that I have typed the object name correctly, or remove this object from the selection.
So once again the edit keys are grayed out. Any ideas.
Same error comes up. And I made sure i was logging into Regedit as Administrator.
Hold down the Windows key and press R (WinKey+R) Type WINVER and press enter. Post a screenshot of the display.
