problems with Security Access settings

Windows XP Security >> problems with Security Access settings Hi,
I'm installing software on 16 PC's in a lab that will give them access to a
library card catalogue (mla solutions by Mandarin )The PC's are all on SP2
of XP Pro. The software works finds as admin. The students, however, can
only log on as limited user. At that point I get :The application failed to
initialize properly (0xc0000022). Click OK to terminate the application. I
went in through Safe Mode and gave full control to the folder that the
software is installed in. Now certain computers work fine, while others
still give the same error message, i.e. all PCs of one brand will work but
none of another brand work. The OS and software set-up on all pC's is
identical, only MB, memory...are different - but definitely sufficent for
XP. Any ideas what permissions need to still be changed on the other PCs?
The software needs access through a port. Could there be some restrictions
there?
TIA
Michael

Windows XP Security >> problems with Security Access settings First, if this is XP you need to log in as an administrator
(locally), and give all computer users full rights to any
folders or files that the program uses. Next before any
user logs on, i would either delete there profiles, or to
be safier, re-name them. then try to log back on and see
if that user can access the program. also look at the
compatability propeties within the executable icon

Windows XP Security >> problems with Security Access settings Thanks Don.
Any suggestions on how to determine which other files and folders the
program uses?

Hi

One way is to use Sysinternals RegMon/FileMon utilities to find what
registry keys/file system folders the application need write access
to and set rights accordingly for the locked down user account.

RegMon/FileMon is available for free here:

http://www.sysinternals.com

Here is another one:

I haven't run the utility in the link below myself, but it looks
interesting as a problem solving tool in some situations, e.g.
like the one you have:

Windows Application Verifier has settings that will
tell you what files/reg keys/etc. the app accesses.

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/appcompatibility/appverifier.mspx

The AppVerifier works by monitoring an application's use of the
operating system, including the file system, registry, memory, and
APIs, while the application is being run.
