Hi, my first post as I have recently started using Object Desktop.
I tried the demos of various products and decided to purchase a lisence for Object Desktop.
I installed SDC and ran it, whereupon it asked me for to use an admin account, which I did (figuring that it was required due to install and upgrade issues). I promptly began to install the various components...and reboot.
After the reboot I tried to use the new products that were installed and was promptly told:
"Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."
Perplexed, I promptly decided to check security permissions on a few of the Stardock files, and all had the Users group added. I changed the permissions to add my regular user ID to the permissions, it still failed to launch with the same error.
I checked access from the admin account I used when SDC launched and was able to access the products without issue. This leads me to believe eithe all accounts that use The products that I installed through SDC require admin access, or that I can only use it with one "user" on my computer (which must be my admin account, something I am loathe to do).
Forgive me if this was answered somewhere else but I had not been able to find anything by searching the forums or the knowledgebase.
Thanks in advance,
