    Usually this is just because of a few missing file or
    registry permissions and can be fixed without the need
    to grant Admin privileges. Filemon and Regmon from
    www.sysinternals.com or other utilities can help you
    determine what needs to change.

    The latter. You cannot reliably create a weak Admin
    account and give the user the password. My previous
    suggestion about the RunAs icon, while not 100%
    secure, is still a possibility.
