bds1958 Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 Interesting one. On another User account none of the internal and external drives will recognise a CD rom. Get the "Insert Disc" message. However on my account the disc is recognised and opens no problem. Any ideas? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gi7omy Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 Give the other account admin privileges - you may have to do a second install (I had that problem some time ago with a customer who needed Office on another a/c) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynn98109 Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 If it's Win2000, Start > Settings > Control Panel > Users & Passwords. I had about half an hour of free entertainment today before I finally got OFF the Administrator account, AND returned IE to the desktop for my account. I've no idea how IE got lost, altho I did figure out how it rebooted into Administrator. The sequence is different on WinXP; the Beast is normally off between Norton updates - preferrably at intervals of a couple weeks. I'm sure I'll consider Vista as soon as I find a program I consider necessary that requires 64-bit instead of 32-bit, and a high-end graphics card, and DVD burning. So far, I'm stumped for anything that could possibly use that, let alone require it. Lynn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you mean by a "second install"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gi7omy Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 On that machine I was talking about Brian, Office was installed in one account. The boss wanted his secretary to use it too, but on her account she simply couldn't access it. I had to switch to her account and pop in the discs - took a few seconds was all. It did a partial install of the necessary files (it didn't put everything in as it 'saw' the previous installation. After that both accounts were able to run the suite. It seemed that some files (maybe .dlls or something) were 'locked' on the other account and needed to be added to the new user Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bds1958 Posted February 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 Update:- Logged on to other account. Opened EMC9, registered in users name etc. Checked all optical drives using Tools/ Disc Info. Drives picked up all discs inserted. Closed EMC9. Tried to open discs on all drives in XP (My Computer etc, etc). Drives wouldn't recognise some discs that were recognised in EMC9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
