SilentTek / WinXP and not Admin

Hi,

I am using the AK79D-400VM and the SilentTek hardware monitoring tool.
It's really great in reducing the noise, in fact, my computer runs
without noise most of the time (thanks to not overclicking it .

But I have a son who has his own account as a normal User. When he
starts up his account, the SilentTek utility displays an error telling
me that the motherboard is not supported! The same tool works nice,
however, when I am logged in (with admin rights).

For I have carefully chosen the OS to NOT give full control to my
children, I'd like to know which specific rights the program needs to
run.

Can anyone help out ?

I am using the setup for Version 3.12.28, although even after
installation the File version of hardwaremonitor.exe is 3.0.0.2...

Log into your Administrator account, go to the .exe for the file, should be
in program files. Right click on the exe, and select properties. On the main
tab, select the advanced button. You should be able to check "run with
different credentials", then click ok, and apply. You should then be able to
log onto your sons account, and it should run, the only thing is it may pop
up a window asking how you want it to run, just pick "administrator"

Dan,

that's exactly what I do not want. My son should be able to play his
games, write his eMails and do some office stuff, but i do not want
him to have access to administrative credentials, and I do not want to
be at home every time he starts his account (I believe that's what
rights are for...).
So I already know this workaround, but it doesn't help me at all.
I was looking for some SilentTek/AOpen guy being aware of XP
attitudes...

Nevertheless, thanks for answering me!

Guenter,

This only allows admin priveldges for that particular program, nothing else.
It does not allow him to use anything that he wasnt allowed before.

Hi Dan,

tried to follow your advice, but can't find the "run as" on the
property page.
I am using Windows XP Professional SP1, and the advanced-button on the
main property page just shows Archive- and Compression attributes...

any ideas ?
