Can anyone kindly tell me what I should do?
I am new to Windows Vista Home Premium. I installed a new software from a CD and it showed up under the original ADMIN ACCOUNT. I could not access or even see it through my Standard User account and I was told it will only work under an Administrator account. Now I have changed my Standard User acoount to Administrator-2 account. How can I make the software accessble from my Administrator-2 account? In the future, when installing a program, how do I make sure under which user account it is installed? Thanks! Nick |

Uninstall it from the current account and install it in the account you want
it used in. Avoid programs that require a user to be an administrator since this un-does most of the security enhancements that Vista provides. Either update or replace such software. -- Richard G.
