Hello ...

Please advise if you know how this can be done. I have a Win XP Home edition machine, in which there are 2 users, A (Administrator) and B (User). A installed Adobe Pagemaker in the machine and patch the software, use it, no problem. B logs in by using his own username / password, tries to use Adobe Pagemaker, error comes out. But if it is run as by A, it is alright even when logged on by B.

Any suggestion please? Thank you.
 
Is B a limited user or an Administrator?

What is the error message? is it generated by windows or pagemaker?
 
B is the limited user while A is the Administrator.

I logged into Win XP as B. double clicked on the program and an error popup appeared.

Cannot Run PageMaker .. Cannot find PageMaker's registry settings. OK.

But if I right click and use the "run as" service and run the application under A, it is ok.

Whats the work about for this issue please? : )

ooh, this is an interesting one...

if you are comfortable with registry editing, you can go into regedit and change the permissions for the registry entries that pagemaker uses (you'll have to find them first though :( )

the permissions work similarly to the way file permissions work.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
