When running Rosetta Stone as a power user or ordinary user, I'm getting the "Please Login with Administrator Privileges and Try Again" message. I gave full control over the Rosetta Stone directory under C:\Program Files thinking that would fix it. Is there another directory that I can give full control over without making this person an admin over the box?

Have you tried elevating the user to an Administrator, installing the software as the user and then downgrading them back to Power User or Normal?
Sometimes software needs to create reg keys etc as an admin but under that user's profile.
Otherwise you may have no choice other than to allow the user have local admin access on the PC
Thanks

Since you have a permissions failure, you need to find out where it is.... The below apps can help with this......
RegMon for Windows v7.04
http://technet.microsoft.c
FileMon for Windows v7.04
http://technet.microsoft.c
Set the filter at the top to Include "The Rosetta Stone APP.exe", to highlight "access denied", and then try and recreate the errors by reinstalling the client. Then go to these apps, and look for the red, and it will tell you where the permissions are shot. Open up those areas and then test.....
Or even use the new and improved utility form Sysinternals, that contains them both....
Process Monitor v2.04
http://technet.microsoft.c
Once you identify the problem areas, they can be packaged for deployment to run properly....
Hey everybody, I have tried all suggestions and no dice. I called Rosetta Stone and they say that the program is designed to only run as administrator.
Bottom line is to either grant user admin rights or run it as admin every time, which becomes a serious pain in the nether regions.
Thanks for everyone's help. I'll go ahead and attribute the points to WaterStreet, since his advice really was the most accurate--create an admin account. That's the only way to run the darn program, so there it is.

Have you tried going to the Control Panal and creating and Administrative Account complete with a password for it?
If not then do that and try again.
Perhaps also try making the application available for all users with a shortcut to the program placed in: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu
If still a problem then try the following procedure from Microsoft for taking ownership of a file or folder in Windows XP
