Non Admin or Limited User - 11/1/2010 9:38:52 AM    Chuck   Posts: 1 Joined: 11/1/2010 Status: offline I've successfully installed and ran Middle and HS Advantage but when my daughter logs in on her limited User account, the system will not run correctly. I can click the buttons for the different subject area's but nothing happens. What needs to be completed or configured for her to run the software as a limited user? Thanks Post #: 1

RE: Non Admin or Limited User - 11/1/2010 1:09:26 PM    Brandy redux Posts: 2376 Joined: 2/7/2007 Status: offline Hi Chuck, The problem you are experiencing is due to the fact that the Advantage software was originally designed before WinXP was released. All software programs which were designed before WinXP was released assume that all users will have access to all files and folders on the computer - which Limited User Accounts do not have. After Computer Administrator/Limited User accounts were introduced in WinXP, many software designers chose to not update the software to allow Limited User accounts to use the software. And, the Advantage software is one of those software programs which was never updated to allow Limited User accounts to use the software. So, if you are not willing to elevate your daughter's permissions to Administrator, your only option would be to change the permissions for the Advantage software folders. _____________________________ For More Help: Click on the FAQ link at the top of this page Then, click on the All FAQ's button on the next page To contact me by email, please send your message to pine_97@yahoo.com (in reply to Chuck) Post #: 2

And, your daughter will have use the 'Run As' command and enter the administrator password every time she wants to use the Advantage software. If this is a deal breaker for you, and if you purchased the Advantage software from a retail store within the last 90 days or from broderbund.com within the last 30 days, you are eligible for a refund, as can be seen by clicking on the link below Refunds < Message edited by Brandy redux -- 11/1/2010 4:41:27 PM > _____________________________ For More Help: Click on the FAQ link at the top of this page Then, click on the All FAQ's button on the next page To contact me by email, please send your message to pine_97@yahoo.com (in reply to Brandy redux) Post #: 3
