I have a piece of software that seems to only run when an administor is running it. We have changed to rights to allow everyone to run it and still does this. Any reason why?

What software is it? You mean that you changed the permissions to its directory within C:\Program Files so that the User and Power-User groups had Full Control permission, is that correct?

There's a patch for The Sims 2 to address that, run the updater and it should get you fixed up.Originally posted by: PCHPlayer
I have the exact same problem with Sims 2, it only runs as admin. I have not tried changing the permissions as it is a pain on XP Home (yes I know, cacls is my friend). I temporarily tried to change all the users to non-admin, but there were so many programs that wanted to run as admin, i just gave up. I just hope that I don't get infected with spyware.
