Title: MC under XP Limited Account
Post by: etxrmm on September 22, 2004, 02:40:21 pm

Installed MC 10 about a month back on my ME system. Upgraded last week to XP Home edition. I want peace of mind from my kids downloading and installing games w/ spyware etc., so I set them up w/ limited access accounts..

But when they try to launch MC, they get the message about not having enough rights, must be power user, etc. Seems to work fine for them when I switch back to admin rights.

Just reinstalled with 10.0.161, thinking maybe a fresh install on my XP would help, but it didn't.

Is mine just a buggy system that can be fixed, or is this a drawback of MC10?
Is their a work around? Will MC11 fix this, and when?

Been a fair long timer, fisrt install was MJ7, the REAL interface, was, well, we all know what that was.

Thanks for any info/help on this.
