Problem with running a prog. with different users in Win XP.

[algae]

Hi all,
I just installed Dragon Naturally Speaking on my Win XP machine. It works fine under my Admin. account and although it is shared in the All Users folder, it won't run in any of the other 3 accounts on the machine. It gives me a "Could not write to C:\Program~\Dragon....etc. error message". I have tried to install it in one of the other accounts just in case it is some sort of security problem but it still won't work.
Any suggestions?
Tia for any info.

When you're in one of the user accounts, right mouse button click on the program's icon and do a "Run as Administrator" That might work if there is a permissions prob, or if the program is not multi-profile aware.

Thanks but I don't see that option when I right click the file ??

Are your other users "power users". If not, that is probably the problem. "users" cannot write to the "c:\program files" folder, and this program probably creates temp files or something in its installed directory.

Power user as in Administrative priviledges?
