Hi,

As part of locking down my PC, I have recently dropped my type of User from 'Administrator' to 'Limited'.

Bullcharts or more specifically MSDE, is now not happy!

The icon in the startup bar is greyed out instead of with the green play button. Whether I start the service or not, Bullcharts gets an error when is starts saying that MBullcharts requires MSDE, it could not be found, would you like to install it?

Switching the user back to admin rights fixes the problem as you would expect. Is there anyway around this? I don't like having to leave my computer open/vulnerable by having to assign admin rights all the time, just to satisfy bullcharts/msde.

Any help is appreciated.

Craig

I have also tried with my limited XP User being part of the "Power USer" group.

Same errors with this as well.

FWIW, I have run "regmon" and BullCharts is coming up with heaps of "Overflow Exceptions" when accessing the Windows Registry.

Yet to try this under Administration rights to see if all the "Overflow Exceptions" are "normal".

Any advice is appreciated...I have also emailed BullCharts about this.
