I'm trying to delete a a key in the registry from
LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Gameport
 
but it simply won't let me. Administrator, Safe Mode, doesn't matter what, I can't delete anything from that particular key. Is this protected somehow, can it be un-protected, and if it can't, why the freakin' hell not?
 

 
Thanks, any help is appreciated.
 
(also, is there anyway I could screw around with the win2k registry from win98, so I could possible work around whatever screwy protection it has that way maybe?)

Remove the device from the add/remove hardware wizard (you may need to choose "show hidden devices").
