Corel Draw 10 problems

Hello everyone. I'm having a user with a new pc (Windows XP SP2). After installing Corel Draw 10 on the user account (with admin rights) and launching it once (still having admin rights), I removed the admin rigths and relaunched Corel. But I get a little message box, without error message, I can just click on OK. I tried already to give him Power user rights, but no avail. It only works with admin rights. But I don't want to give hime the rights. Can anyone help me?

Thanx

Since CorelDRAW virtual memory manager uses root folder of your drive for swapping, users need write rights for root folder. And, probably, for Corel installation folder too.

Note - this is actual for NTFS-formatted partitions, since FAT does not support advanced access rights of NT/2K/XP OSes.

Do the following steps so you can prevent corel draw from writing to root folder.

1. Search your HD for corelapp.ini (X:\Program Files\Corel\Graphics10\Config).
2. Scroll down to the bottom and add the following section:
[Bitmap Tile Manager]
UseRootForSwap=0
3. Save the file and restart CorelDRAW.

The temp files will no longer be created to the root of the drive.

Tried the last one (corelapp.ini) but nothing changed. Tried to give full access to the user in corel (via regedit), but alas :(
