I'm running Microsoft Picture It! Publishing Gold Edition on a Windows 2000 PC. When my user goes to open it, it says, "If you are running Windows 2000 or NT4 on this machine, Admin permissions are required for it to run the properly." It won't even open.

I do not want to make this user a member of the admin group and giving him full control to this program doesn't work. Any ideas? p.s. Microsoft could not help me.

actually you have to check on the site of the manufacturer.
I have run a couple of times on this and most of the times its a permission error on the registry of the software.
hkey local machines\software\?our software name.
I give them full permissions on that registry and subtrees.
else I check what the permission is on the folder and .exe where the program is installed. 99% this generally helps, the software manufacturer should know exactly what and where you should modify and too what levels.
As a last resort You can try also to temporary give them admin rights, install the software and then remove the admin rights and let them run the program.
