Hi Dave,

You may need to reinstall it under each user account. First, try placing a
shortcut to the program in the allUsers Startup folder here (it may
currently be only under your user name):

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

If that doesn't work, to reinstall it under each user, you will need to
right-click the setup file and use "run as" and enter the admin name and
password.
