My problem , I have 2 user accounts, my wife and myself.
I loaded Norton antivirus. No problem on my account but
antivirus will not come up on my wife's account . I can
see icon and shortcut on desktop but it will not come up
, same with Musicmatch software, all songs play under my
account , but some play , some will not on my wife's
account. Not sure if I should have posted this here,


Thanks

Keith

Most applications weren't designed for this type of multi-user environment.
Such applications need to be installed in each specific user's account to
whom you wish to grant access.

First, be sure the account to which you wish to grant access is set to
administrator and not limited. Install the applications to the same folder
in which it was originally installed. This will look the same as one
install on your hard drive but create the pointers necessary for this user
to have access to the application.

Once the installation is complete, you can return the account to its limited
status if that is what you want and the user should still have access.
