I think this seems pretty clearly an NT perms problem, not a Python 
problem. Not that I wouldn't offer some help if I had a thought on why 
this is occurring, but I don't. For some reason that user does not have 
permission. You should be able to add permission to read that key, I'm 
not sure why administrator would not have permission but according to 
the OS, it doesn't! Are you really logged in as the local account 
Administrator or perhaps an account that belongs to the administrator 
group or domain admins group? (Not that those other possibilities should 
have trouble accessing that key.)

Very strange indeed.
