Vista, problem with One user !

F

frank

I am running Vista Home Premium on an Acer stationary Aspire M3100. All
running well except for one problem. I as a user can not install two
specific programms. My wife and another user on the PC got the programms
when I installed them, but I (admin.) cannot get them working.

One is a programm for my Navigon GPS called NavigonFresh. I get two error
messages: "Unable to create directory" and: "Cannot create file
navigon\navigon fresh\settings\user.xml". But as mentioned above the two
other users on the machine have no problems!

The other one is my EPSON perfection scanner 1250. I installed it on the
PC, but I can not use/open the programm - but the two other users on the
machine have no problems!

These are the only two programms on the PC giving me troubles.

Can anyone help ?? I tried to uninstall and reinstall but with same
negative results.

(I tried asking on my Danish newsgroup but negative).

Best regards, Frank.

Did those programs work with XP?

P.S. I would add the letter of your surname to your nick if I were you
so as to not be confused with another "Frank" here.

No problems whatsoever ... It's why I enjoy Windows Vista.
But a Linux Monkey like yourself enjoys difficulty....you will stay on that
broken branch.
Too bad for you.
Poor monkey.

Actually you should change your NIC to "Alias - Ubuntu GOD" then leave this
group and go over to http://ubuntuforums.org/ where you should have been a
long time ago and help those poor saps who don't know what to do with their
FREE software. Imagine, helping those who actually want to use Ubuntu.
That could be your life long dream come true.

Ooooooh Please!

Alias spends his life trolling this newsgroup, never tiring of supplying his
contrariness with no regard to how witless and droll his posts usually are.
It's sad. It's as if he thinks anyone cares about his opinion. He should
wake up and realize no one does. I used to wage war in newsgroups once, but
fortunately I came out of the war of words [for the most part]. Fighting the
against the OS you don't like makes no sense when one could be supporting
the OS one does. People are going to use what they want regardless so what's
the point in knocking down someone else's business? None. But not all of us
have a clue.
