Re: Problem with User Account & Quickbooks in Win XP 2002

I have more information... The Win XP version is Media Center Edition,
Version 2002 with SP2.

I have admin rights, and I removed and re-installed the Quickbooks, but I
received the same error when I tried to open it - Win XP must have Power
users or admin group rights in order to run Quickbooks.

Thank you for your quick reply and the information. I'll double check the
version of Win XP tomorrow when I go in, but thought it was Pro. Also, I
installed the Quickbooks myself yesterday, so even if it was for one user, I
should be it.

Alas, no IT people there to help! I'll reply tomorrow with the verification
(or correction) of the XP version.
