My portable XnviewMP is constantly accessing HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\}\PropMMDevices\Audio\Render at a rate of app. 5 hits per seconds.
Why is this?

This seems to be my HD Audio Device ( Sound card). When I remove it, XnvieMP stops accessing it.
I don't even see failed attempt in process monitor then.
If I reactivate it, it starts all over again. It happens when I select a video file, avi or mp4. It does not happen with flv.

Have you tried adding
localservice and
networkservice to the
administrator group, jadO?

You can check this by opening up Regedit and going to HkeyLocalMachine>Software>Microsoft>Windows>CurrentVersion>MMDevices>Audio>Renderer and right clicking any of the keys in this stack. In the Permissions tab of the properties dialogue, there should be a user called 'AudioEndpointBuilder' and another one called 'Audioserv'. If they aren't present, something has gone awry.

Thanks for trying to help.
Unfortunately both users are present in my registry.
When I check Process Monitor also it is successfully at accessing the desired key. The issue is, that it keeps accessing it like 100 time per minute.
I don't see a reason for this. I could understeand if it accesses it 1 time but not multiple times and constantly firing.
