Ok. I'm glad its working. It might not be a bad idea and send the publisher (which I think is the VA) a note explaining that not all users shouldn't need to be power users to run this software. It's been my experience that they take suggestion pretty well.

However, this application needs to register system dll's when it is launched. That means I need to grant rights to those system keys. Which, basically gives them Power User access. Also, I have tried this since our thread began and it does not work even if I grant rights to the specific keys. Somehow, the application is looking for "Power User" membership only.
