Poser - OFFICIAL F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Dec 23 7:16 pm)
I'm not really familiar with the intricasies of a non-admin account, but one thing that springs to mind is that Poser does a check to see if another instance of the same serial number is running on a network. Maybe that action is being blocked on this account, and crashing the app.

Poser makes use of the registry, which I don't expect your limited account is permitted to do (read or write I'm not sure).
hmmm, I see. So it can be used in limited account. How is your Poser installed? Is it installed in main drive, and if it is, are you using any external runtimes?
As far as using Poser in non-admin, do you have full control of files, like modifying and saving it, or did you have to issue an administratror right in order use the files?
I think PJ was referring to the fact that you cannot edit the registry (regedt32.exe) unless you have administrative rights on the machine, which is correct. Most default XP installs allow the first user account full administrative rights. The funny thing is, OSX just installs Poser (*nix has no 'registry' - IMHO a good thing), and since its libraries are local, you don't need sudo/root (the password-entering blurb you see) to install it there. (OSX has a whole different security model, which works very well). /P

Ok, so here's my setup, I've created 2 accounts in my XP Pro, one administrator and one limited account. I have Poser 7 installed in E: drive along with rest of my runtimes. I can run Poser 7 in administrator account but it seems I can't in limited as it crashes on load. I could run it in limited account but only by using a trick that pretty much tells it to run as an administrator.
So, is this true that Poser 7 can't be used in limited accout as a limited user? Or what if I create an exception in security setting and give Poser a full control, could that work?
