enders bug

[overtyped]

I reset my computer to factory settings and downloaded hnh and got this error, this isn't stopping me from playing but it's slowing the game down a bit. This is the error

WARNING: Could not open/create prefs root node Software\JavaSoft\Prefs at root 0
x80000002. Windows RegCreateKeyEx(...) returned error code 5.

If anyone knows what this means i'd appreciate it.

did you do the Enders update and log in once from default client? I know it gets buggy with me if i don't do that when fresh installed.

Can't access HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JavaSoft\Prefs\

Useraccount settings changed in Windows? Connected to a domain (servernetwork) before? Try with deactivating User Account Control ...

I tried that, it doesn't appear to be what's causing it. : (

Do you know how to edit Windows registry? Try to make a new key called "haven" in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JavaSoft\Prefs\ if there is none

What happens?
Report back pls

I spent some time looking for the problem and i found it. Appearently they added something new to java, so if you want to avoid the error download java 7 update 17. The current version is java 7 update 21.

Also this is a message to people who type * EDIT FIXED* instead of saying how they figured out the problem, WHICH HAPPENS A LOT. I hope you accidentally gouge your eyes out with a spoon.
