I am running windows 2000 pro and a motorola wpci810g wireless card. The card works fine for administrator but turns the radio feature off for normal users, thus stopping the card from working. Does anybody know how to get this card to work for a normal user?

I guess you had to install special software that came with the card. Normally during the installation process you are asked if it is for all users or just the current user. Here you should answer with all users. If you weren' asked that question, find the program files of your installed software and set the attributes to be "Executable" for all (Maybe you you also need to open more attributes , like "change" and "writeable", you'll have to test this). Also find the Administrators startup folder and move the program links of the wireless software to the all users startup folder. also here you need to change the attributes for all users. Also check your services. If you can find any service related to your wireless and then doubleclick that service. check the "log on" for that service and change it to "Local System Account" if it is anything else.
