How to determine registry access denied root cause

I have tried to run program I wrote on two Win 7 Home Premium 32 bit PC's, under admin accounts. One has SP1, one is non SP'd. Please see below for the differing process trace results of part of it's operation. How can I figure out what is stopping one PC from allowing access to both the

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System    
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

keys and values, and not the other?
