It was a problem under XP too. You created a limited account, and it
turned out that you were unable to start certain programs. So you
thought that limited accounts were worthless. I have been using XP
with an administrator account for years, and I have only recently
discovered how to use XP with a limited account, which is so much
safer.

Vista is worse.

Some programs, such as Agent (which I am using right now to enter a
message in the newsgroup) even cannot be started if you log on as
Admin. Of course you made sure that you had access rights to the Agent
files. But the program crashes immediately, without error message, and
you have no idea why.

Agent can be started (under any user account) by right clicking on it,
and selecting 'Run as Administrator'.

I do not believe Microsoft intended this.

PSP 6? They're on 10. :-D

Adobe Bridge will not work unless you have the user account control turned
off, so I keep it turned off in order to use Bridge. This occurs even if you
have it set to run as administrator.

Hello Mr. Evan

That is why Vista is a Beta to find problems with 3rd party software and anything else even if they are old

If you want compatibility with a cutting edge beta OS then yes, you
should have the latest version.

Reporting bugs in programs 5 years old isn't going to get you very far.
PSP 6 is *not* going to be fixed.

I don't think Microsoft cares much if there's a problem running a 5
year old program. Much like if I tried to install PSP X on Windows
3.11.
