Program run problem when logged in as a user

Guest

We have had this happen at least twice with different programs. We install a
program when logged in as an administrator. Everything runs fine. Then when
we log in as a user the program either will not even start up properly. I
assume this is a permission issue. Perhaps the program writers thought that
since the program was a stand alone version, the operator would be logged in
as an administrator. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

An easy way to be sure it's a permissions problem is to promote the user to
Admin level and run the program. Then demote them to where they were. If
the app runs only with Admin permissions, you have two choices.

Either use Run As and give it admin permissions, or contact the program
authors for directions on getting it to work as limited user, or for a
version that doesn't require admin permissions.

Thanks for the advice.

I tried changing all of the permissions in to directory to administrator but
that did not work. I then set it up to be logged in a s a user and use Run
As. That is what I needed up doing for another program earlier this year.
