We are using a small interface program that, when loaded in a windows XP profile that is not an administrator, gives us an error message. For some reason, winXP is not allowing the program to save unless an administrator is logged on. Obviously, one can still save files in word or excel. Any ideas?
 
If you mean by loaded that you open the program in a limited account as
opposed to installed in that user account you have this issue, please see
below:

Most applications weren't designed for this type of multi-user environment.
Such applications need to be installed in each specific user's account to
whom you wish to grant access.

First, be sure the account to which you wish to grant access is set to
administrator and not limited. Install the applications to the same folder
in which it was originally installed. This will look the same as one
install on your hard drive but create the pointers necessary for this user
to have access to the application.

Once the installation is complete, you can return the account to its limited
status if that is what you want and the user should still have access.
