| Guest | Program must be started as Administrator 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. -- José |

| Guest | Re: Program must be started as Administrator 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. "Yuriy Shkolnikov [MSFT]" wrote: > Thanks for reporting this issue here. What are other programs that you are > having issues with?

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. Tony |

Much like if I tried to install PSP X on Windows 3.11. |
