Install Palm Desktop Software on a Power User Account In W..

Archived from groups: comp.sys.palmtops.pilot (More info?)

Hello;

I'm trying to install Palm Desktop software on a Windows XP Pro
system, and allow a normal power users to able to open Palm Desktop
and Sync.

The steps I have been doing to install it are:

1) Give administrator rights to the Power User, and log in as the
Power User
2) Install the Palm Desktop Software and perform the first HotSync.
3) Take back the administrator rights.

However, once I take back the admin rights, I can no longer open Palm
Desktop. The splash screen comes up, but it just freezes there.

Any suggestions would be great, thank you

I am giving the palm user the admin rights, installing the software as
the palm user (with the admin rights), opening up all apps that Palm
Installed on the workstation, removing the admin rights from the palm
user, and then trying to open Palm Desktop again. This is where it
freezes.
