user profiles

[B2Bomber]

Let's say I have 6 user profiles. 1 Admin, 1 guest. The
rest users. Ofcourse, I'm the Admin. I install say
ACAD2000LTi, but if a "user" user tries to use it, it won't
load up. An error message about registry appears. Any
work-arounds for this one? I've tried giving the "user"
user a power user profile. It worked. But how about if I
don't want the "user" user to be a "power user" user?

Hi,
Install the same program from the user account where you face the error. It
might work out that may.

If you know that the problem is in writing to the Registry, then you may be
able to adjust the particular Registry key's permissions to allow the User's
group "write" access to it.

If the error message tells you where the program is trying to write to the
Registry, click Start, Run and enter REGEDIT and go to the key indicated.
Right click on the last subkey and select Permissions, and then add the
User's group to the list and assign "full control". This will have to be
done from an Administrator level account.
