Leave the user's restricted.
Log on as administrator.
Modify NTFS rights on Palm software directories (i.e. C:\program
files\palm...)
Give "Users" modify rights.
You may also need to modify Palm registry keys.
start-run-regedit
HKLM-Software-Palm
Right-click - Permissions - Give user's full control

Good Luck
