    Hi guys,

    My cousin recently asked me to install a program for him. So I go over his house, and install it. He has 5 user accounts. He is the only administrator, the other acounts are set to limited. He is able to use that program, but anyone else who tries to use it, it simply opens, stays on the taskbar, and that's that. You cannot maximize it or use it.

    Is there anyway to fix this? Or must the other users have administrative atrributes?

    Thanks.

    Jnick

    If the program is installed under adm.rights he is the only one there can use it, (or another superadm.)But can you install the program for default user? regards oldi

    If you know the admin name/password, you could also try holding down the SHIFT key as you right-click on the executable (shortcut) to see if you get a Run As.. option, if you do choose the 'the following user' option and enter the admin username/password.
