Unable to install efax Messenger Plus for non-admin user under Win XP pro
I can't figure out, how to get efax Messenger Plus working for non-amdin users. I install it under an admin account, and configure it without any problems. When I switch to a non-admin account, and launch efax, it wants to install itself again. I have tried the Run as... admin option within a non-admin user account, and even gave admin rights temporarly, but there seems to be no way around this.
efax support section is almost nonexisting, and doesn't mention anyhting about install problems.

Find a different faxing program , I know there are a lot of them out there !
Try and search on www.downloads.com and see if you can find any free ones to try out first ! Just to make sure it works.

I ran into this today and decided to try a radical approach... I downloaded and installed the program as the non privileged user. For some unknown reason this program installed while logged in as someone other than an administrator, though I don't know why. My end user is thrilled, and I thought I would pass this along.
Not sure about that, but 1 solution is to use the eFax "WebFax" interface.
Nothing to install (less problems) and universal access!
Just a thought, Good Luck!
