XP Home question

[dpellegrini]

I'm not up on XP security, so please excuse this question, but I've installed a program on XP under one user and the other user logins are not able to run it. I think I can change the user account types to admin and that should fix it, but I'm not sure. Anyone have any suggestions?

Run the installation program udner every user (in the same directory as you did). You sometimes have to do this with Office XP

If you go into Safe Mode in Home you will have access to the Security tab and may find that if you increase permissions for the second user's access to the program's folder it will help.

I agree to linney. But first try giving all the users admin rights (from users in control panel). by getting admin rights, they will by default have permissions for all the installed programs and applications.

Thanks for the responses. I'll give the recommendations a try.
