To be able to change this particular registry key, the permissions need to be modified. This process can be done automatically by downloading and installing Freeserve Broadband Patch (REFFIUP04940100). For Dutch systems, please download and install Speedtouch ADSL USB modem fix (REFFIUP05200105). After installing the patch, you can install the software without any problem. If the software was already installed, run the setup again and choose the Repair / Upgrade option.
