How to stop auto-changing registry values?

How to stop auto-changing registry values?

My computer (Windows XP Home Edition SP3) is changing registry values by itself.
Under HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System, I have DisableRegistryTools and DisableTaskMgr set to 0:

However, for some reason, the values jump back to 1 after a couple of seconds. And regardless of how many times I set it to 0, it will soon jump back to 1 after a while.
Thinking that it may be some rogue program, I downloaded Process Explorer and took a look at the running processes, http://i.stack.imgur.com/gTb1i.png:

All the processes are from Microsoft, Apple, NVIDIA, and Oracle, and they look pretty authentic.
What may be causing the problem?
