A problem with ICQ.

I am running 2 accouts on Windows XP. One is an administrative accout the other being a limited account. I made the limited account an administrative account so he will be able to install the newest ICQ and be able to use it (thought it would register the .dlls in his database). Then I changed that account back to limited and everytime he runs icq he gets an error message saying: "You do not have administrative privlages so icq may not function correctly, for more information contact your system administrator" Well the application doest even start up, and I don't know a way to get it to work without making his account an admin account.

He is using the newest FULL version of ICQ, any opinions/comments on how to get it working will be very appreciated!

Thanks!

User account must be a member of the Power Users group. But dosnt require admin rights.

Cosmo the steps you gave me I would have to do under admin account correct (thats what im hoping for)

CosmoNut

Yes you must have admin rights or be given rights to administer accounts by an admin in order to make these changes.
