    • TOP Installation FAQ

    When running TOP, I see the error message "Failed to update system registry. Please try using REGEDIT.

    TOP can act as a 32-bit ActiveX application, which means that you can use Microsoft COM to automatically open files. When TOP opens for the first time, it checks to see if it has been registered. If not, then it tries to add some entries into the Windows Registry. The Windows Registry normally is read-only in Microsoft Windows Vista/7/8/10 and Windows Server 2008/2012 unless you specifically run using an with a full administrator access token. To run an application one time with a full administrator access token, follow these steps:

    1. Log on as a local administrator or provide the credentials of a member of the local Administrators group.
    2. Locate the program icon for TOP or a shortcut to TOP in Windows Explorer.
    3. Right-click the TOP program icon or shortcut, and then click Run as administrator.
    4. When the User Account Control (UAC) message is displayed, do one of the following:
      • If you are logged on as a standard user, or if UAC is configured to always require credentials, enter the appropriate administrative credentials, and then click OK.
      • If you are logged on as an administrator and UAC is not configured to always require credentials, click Yes to start the application
