Re: HP Scanner Creates problem in second account

Hi,

It means there is a problem with permissions on either the program folder or
a registry entry being used by the program. Try assigning 'read & execute'
permissions to the limited account username. To do this (I am assuming you
have Pro as you mentioned a power user acct), disable "simple file sharing"
in the view tab of folder options. Then locate the installation folder for
the HP software, right click it and choose properties. Go to the security
tab and locate the user in the list, then add the read and execute
permissions.
