RE: Have to "run as" for certain programs

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I'm not sure that's the problem. One of the programs is Roxio Media Creator
7.5. The main program opens fine without errors. Sound editor is one of the
sub programs that can be launched from the main window. I consitently get
the eror message and the program will not start unless I start the main
program by using "run as" and select the Owner profile. I started the other
Admin account I set up and have no problems.

Trying to figure out what is going on with my profile that has not caused
any problems for two years.
