Problems with Games in XP with Multiple Users

[Guest]

My system is set up with an administrator account and 2 limited user accounts. Anytime I install a game using the administrator account, it will work for that account, but not for the others. For one game I had to copy the registry entries from that user over to the other users. For the most recent game I tried to install, I can not seem to find any registry entries that would help. Regardless, there should be an easier way to do this that does not involve copying registry entries. Am I missing something.

Limited accounts don't have the rights needed to manipulate files on the
hard drive. You need the proper permissions. Achieving this depends on
which version of XP you have, Home or Pro. Take a look at this Knowledge
