Have recently moved to XP Pro. I have installed some
games using my administrator logon. WHen other members of
my family try to run the games under their limied logon
they cannot. I think it may be something to do with the
screen res being set to 1024 x 768, both games are trying
to run in their default mode of 800 x 600 and, as a
limited user, they may not beable to change the screen
res - just an idea...

Any help appreciated

TIA Pete

I was trying to install IE on a limited user account by right clicking the
setup file and choosing to Run As my admin account, but the program wouldn't
install correctly. So I temporarily changed the limited account to a Admin
and then ran the setup. Maybe that would work.
