I am having trouble running a program as a certain user. This program can be run by other users with no problem, this program can be run by the user that is having problems if they choose run as different user from the shortcut and change users. The error that I am getting is:

The instruction at "0x6c6f70a6" referenced memory at "0x00000058". The memory could not be written.

Is there some way that I can force the user and that program into a different memory space? Any help is greatlyappreciated.

There is a corruption in the Registry for the user that can't run this problem.
When you run a program as another user (using the RunAs feature), it actually loads a new HKEY_CURRENT_USER from an existing profile on that system for the other user account.
So, user BOB can't run a program, but user TOM can. So, when user BOB runs the program, but specifies to run it as user TOM, the Registry for user TOM is loaded (a piece of it, anyway), and those settings for TOM are used.
My suggstion isto backup any documents and/or important files the broke user has in their profile on this machine into another folder, then DELETE the local profile this broke user has on this TS Windows box (under C:\Documents & Settings\USERNAME).
Then have thebroken user log in again (which creates a new profile for the user in the process). Copy their important documents and files back into their profile.
Have the user try the application again.
It should work now.

Sure, it is annoying deleting andre-creating the local profile again, but it works.

hope this helps

Hi

This problem is due to the corrupted Profile.
Login as a Administrator,Remove your Current User profile. and Recreate the Profile by login again with that user id.I hope this works.

It would be helpful to know the program that causes this error. Could you post a comment with that information?
