Quickbooks and Administrator in XP

Mar 06, 2006 2 Replies

I'm not a QB person. I've just been helping our volunteer-run museum set up a new system.



When loading QuickBooks on XP, I discovered it would not work unless the user was an administrator. So I searched the web (including Intuit's site) and it seems that there are kluges to work around the issue but no real fix. It is hard to believe that a standard application that doesn't need to be part of the system (like a firewall, anti-virus, registry fixer, etc) would need to be run as administrator. Are the people at Intuit really that far out in space or am I missing something about QB?



Note, they are on QB2002 but have just ordered QB2006.

I am Intuit. I must deliver unwanted advertising to the user. Therefore I am administrator. Well, it's that or it's automatic sunset requires administrator.

I would have expected you to say "I am woman hear me roar".
