Thanks, I'll see what their response is (most likely what you
predicted).
I am also going to see what sysinternals can offer too.
Thanks again!
Vic

Your vendor is probably going to say "Give them admin privs" because
they either don't understand or don't want to support Windows 2000
ACL's. But, if you use the tools filemon or regmon from
http://www.sysinternals.com it is usually a trivial matter to find out
where the access failure is and to fix it. Since, in your case,
Administrator fixes it but Power Users does not, its sounds like a
registry key. On default Windows 2000 installations (including non
upgrades), Power Users do not get full control of HKLM\SOFTWARE. They
do get write access. But some brain damaged applications open the
registry with full control even though they don't need it and then fail.
Power Users also does not grant write access to most of the existing
system files in the WINNT tree. But, if your application is writing to
one of those, it is really brain damaged.
If you do use the above tools, you can limit the output by only showing
write operations.

No they are running them from there own systems. I did try to set them
up as Power Users, as Jim K. advised, but it didn't work. I think I will
just contact the manufacturer tech support as Jim W suggested, but I
always appreciate the knowledge and assistance on this list. Thanks
again to all that responded.

Hi, Victor
You mentioned a peer-to-peer system. Are your kids trying to run the
programs from another computer or did you install them all on the actual
computer they are trying to play them on?
