Windows Forum / Windows XP / Basics / June 2006Software installation question
I have installed Quickbooks 2006 onto my admin acct. but I cannot run it from a limited user acct. Further research reveals that I need to create a "power user" acct. I can't find any way to do this, and Dell wants $ up front just to ask the question, whether they can answer it or not. I would appreciate all help offered. Steve Assuming you are using XP...

The Power Users group does not exist on an XP HE system. Also, the Local Users and Groups MMC snap-in is not available in XP HE. Just out of curiosity, why are you looking to Dell for assistance on this instead of Intuit?

So, I thought I'd try you folks out there. thank you for answering.

We were at the add user window, but for some reason they didn't know what to do after that.

Or am I jumping to too many conclusions based on insufficient knowledge ;)  Signaturejeremy MPG.1f0f296fcb9c17fc98a230@news.individual.net, >> To add to what klunk has already told you, that procedure >> does not apply to Windows XP Home Edition.

Also if it is an OEM version of Quickbooks it is Dell that provides the support. |
