hmm, now that is stranger. i would still check all the files associated
with the software and make sure they allow access to 'everyone', don't have
any deny's that might exclude other users, things like that... probably a
bit of a longshot but something worth looking at. also check any registry
entries for the software, if it was installed by 'Administrator' and not set
up specifically for all users to have access there may be some settings
stored in the 'Administrator' profile that wouldn't be accessible by other
users.

one way to test for account dependencies like that is to reinstall the
software as user10 and see if it works then. if it does then there is
something that is not getting setup the way you probably want.

you might also want to ask in a group for the specific language you are
using to see if there are any gotchas in the createthread call that is
failing.
