Standard Rights

[Neal]

I installed Quickbooks Pro 2003 on my new computer running XP Pro. When I
try and run it I get the message that the account I am running from is a
"Limited" account and that I need to be running from an account with
"Standard" rights. Well I looked and I saw when I created the account I had
a choice of "Limited" or "Administrator". I also look and the membership
choices and saw that there is a "Power User" group. I did not find a
"Standard" group. Am I missing something? Will I have to run this account
(my main user) as "Power"?
Thanks

I think what your seeing is the account for Quickbooks itself, not XP.

Thanks for your reponse,
I don't think that is the case. I went in (as administrator, under XP) and
made my user (nbk) a member of the group "Power User" and the message no
longer came up. I would prefer not running the user at any level higher
than I need to.

That's certainly a good practice and its too bad that the people who make
Quicken don't properly design their software. There's no valid reason why
it should need to run as a Power User.
