I have four users on my xp pro machine. Mine is the
administrator and the others are "limited." When I
install a new program (eg. Quicken, WordPerfect), I can
access the program, but the other users get an error when
they try to start the program. I tried changing
permissions, etc., but to no avail. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks......Eric

Hi Eric,

You probably need to reinstall the program while logged on under each =
profile. This is not unusual, just a bit of a PITA, just install it to =
the same folder.
