(X) Your user account for Windows was created with Restricted access to
system resources. This will prevent QuickBooks from operating properly.
Please contact your system administrator and ask him or her to grant you
standard user rights.

I thought there was a way to have more then just admin and limited user
accounts?

I just want an account that will allow people to use applications (access,
quickbooks, photoshop etc) but not install things.
 
Go to control panel\User Accounts and make sure that the
account in question has Power User rights.

Click to expand...

Only in XP Pro, which includes 'Power Users' . In Pro you can run the
line
control userpasswords2
and select the user account, click Properties and on the Group
Membership page select Other and then Power users in the drop down
 
Okay, well, the comps are xp pro, but when I go control panel/users all I
have is this simple window that only has the options of admin and limited.

Now, under administrative tools>computer management

I do see a power users groups, along with users backup operators etc, but I
don't know how to add people to groups. If I try clicking add, and entering
the user name in that object names field, it says it can't find it.

....as I was typing this out I figured out how to add a user....I guess I add
the user to limited, and then included them in the power users...
