Error while writing to the registry... OpenSubKey / SetValue

Hello,

I am working on a VB.Net application and I am getting an error ONLY on the
main computer that uses the application. The main computer is on the other
coast so of course it would be the one having the problem. The application
works fine on the test computers in my office. The test computers are all
running Windows XP Service Pack 2. (Now that I wrote that I should check
the version of Windows XP on the main computer.)

Here is my code...

Private Sub WriteRegistryKe y()

MessageBox.Show ("WriteRegistry Key Begin")

Dim keyLapTopLocati on As Microsoft.Win32 .RegistryKey
Dim keyDeskTopLocat ion As Microsoft.Win32 .RegistryKey

MessageBox.Show ("WriteRegistry Key Step 1") <-- This message was
displayed

keyLapTopLocati on =
Microsoft.Win32 .Registry.Curre ntUser.OpenSubK ey("ConverseDBM S", True)
<--error is in this line or the next
keyLapTopLocati on.SetValue("La ptopLocation", editLaptopLocat ion.Text)

MessageBox.Show ("WriteRegistry Key Step 2") <-- error occured before
this message displayed

keyDeskTopLocat ion =
Microsoft.Win32 .Registry.Curre ntUser.OpenSubK ey("ConverseDBM S", True)
keyDeskTopLocat ion.SetValue("D esktopLocation" , editDesktopLoca tion.Text)

MessageBox.Show ("WriteRegistry Key End")

End Sub

Since the main computer using the application is on the other coast I did a
very low-tech thing and included some messageboxes in the code to try to
isolate the offending code. The "step 1" messagebox displayed but the "step
2" messagebox did not display. So that puts the error in the code between
those two messageboxes.

The error displayed is...

An unhandled exception has occured in your application.
Object reference not set to an instance of an object

Below is the "Exception Text" from the "details" button of the error dialog.

Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Richard
