    I have this program that won't run at all from a non-administrator accound (limited account). What I did to make it work was uninstalling the program, giving temporary administrator status to the limited account, and installing it using the now-administrator account. When I launch the program then, it works.

    I then returned the account to a limited account. I checked to see that the program still worked, and it did. However, once I rebooted, the program started to not work correctly again.

    I do no wish to give permanent administrator status to this account, but I need this program to work.

    I have Windows XP Home Edition.

    What is wrong and what can I do? Thank you.

    Try right clicking the executable file, choose RUN AS and then try the second check box and select the user.
