Can anyone help, I have a Windows 2000 laptop with an infrared port. The port is enable and installed and working.
The problem I have is that Nokia PC Suite will not pick up a Nokia 6210 unless the user is logged in with Administrative privileges, and as you can understand this is not something I wish the user to be able to do.
What seems to be the problem is that the Phone is talking to the laptop but the laptop is not talking back apart from when you first connect up.
The laptop knows it is there and keeps a connection but it is the phone that loses its connection after however long the connection timeout of the phone is. ( This does not occur when logged in as administrator)

Any help would be much appreciated.

I have a bundle of notebooks users running Nokia 6210.

1. log in using the users id and giving administrator's rights.
2.Install the necessary drivers.
3.after the whole processes log out and log in to local administrators account and change the users right to power users.
Done.I guarantee.Gd luck!

hold down the shift key and right click on the mouse while you hightlight exe file, select "run as" type in user name with administrator right.

Tried this but run as only allows you to run the application once as that user, is there any way to run as every time.

Have you tried running it as a power user as i believe this should work OK - if not let me know!
