My PC is using Windows XP Pro SP2. I have a newly installed Odyssey ODY 501 TV Internal tuner card with Philips SAA7130 TV Tuner chipset that uses Honestech TVR software. But I can watch the TV/run the program only with administrator a/c. If I try to run the program from limited a/cs, it will close immediately once it is opened and when I switch to the admin a/c, the program will run but not in the limited a/cs. Please help.

Try RunasUser software - a free tool that lets you circumvent such problems by allowing these programs to be run with elevated privileges..

Thanks a lot, sakumar79. I googled for the software, but all of the sites I checked out provided dead links.

Oops... Didnt realize the software was no longer supported... Try "Run-It as" instead... It is also free and appears to achieve the same thing... You can get it at *www.topshareware.com/Run-It-as-download-54790.htm
