Multiple User Problem in XP Home

L

Libra

I hope someone can help me with this problem.

I bought this Dell Dimension 8400 for my daughter a month ago. Sh
mainly wanted it to scan pictures and install AOL 9.

Prior to putting it on the internet, I installed IESpyAds
Spywareblaster, BOClean, EZAv, Script Sentry, Zone Alarm an
immediately got Windows Updates for SP1. Afterwards I installed SP2.
thought it went well.

I then installed the Dell 920 printer. It would copy, print and scan i
an Admin account, but would only print from a Limited User account.
thought I had resolved that issue by changing the limited user t
admin, scan once, and change the user back to Limited User. I late
found out that when the Limited User logged off the ability to scan an
copy were gone.

I have since had to do a repair install of Windows. It removed all sp2
but left the Security Center in the control panel and the additiona
settings in IE6sp1 that came with SP2 remain. (Not to mention Update
doesn't recognize that I don't have the previous updates.)

About two days ago my daughter went on AOL and was not able to vie
pictures or use the AOL browser. I discovered if I changed her to a
Admin she has these functions.

Does anyone know what is going on, why this is happening?
How can I correct this without giving her Admin rights, which
understand isn't wise.

Thank you.

Sincerely, Libr

You could try going to the AOL folder in the program files directory and
right click on the AOL folder and select security and give "everyone" full
control. That might fix the aol stuff
