Re: Administrator rights-QuickBooks2006Pro

Steven and Bruce: "User Access Rights Problem" - (Error Message) : "Windows
XP and Windows 2000 users must have Power Users or Administrator group rights
in order to run QuickBooks. Please contact your system administrator about
being granted those rights. If you already have Power User or Administrator
group rights, you may be experiencing a known issue. Note the error and type
the following URL address in a Web browser window for troubleshooting steps:
http://www.quickbooksdirect.com/GroupRights."; I have contacted Inuit two days
ago and they tested my hardware, but said I need to talk with the Windows XP
people. So I did that, they told me to talk with the Dell people (Dimension
8200). No solution to date.

I have tried everything from the Group Policy Editor, NTFS, MMC, and nothing
has worked. So frustrating...........

Exactly what is happening and what error messages do you get?? Verify that
you are indeed logged on as an administrator by using the command net
localgroup administrators to view what users are in that group or use the
command net user username using your real username to see if your account
shows as being included in the administrators group.If not boot into Safe
Mode and logon as the built in administrator account to add your account to
the administrators group. By default the built in administrator password is
blank in XP Home. Of course you also need to make sure that your computer is
clean from malware and spyware [let us know if you need help on that] and
some spyware/internet protection packages can be configured to "guard" the
computer and registry and can interfere with software installations unless
that feature is disabled. --- Steve

I just purchased QuickBooks 2006, Pro Edition and want to use it for my
small
business designing and creating jewelry. I work from home, have only this
one
machine, have Windows XP Home Edition, and want to tell this darn machine
that I am the ADMINISTRATOR! I have already talked to Inuit, Microsoft,
Dell,
and spent the past two days trying to research how to do this procedure.

Can anyone help me? Dell wanted at least $99.00 to walk me through it and
Microsoft want over $200.00 for some sort of service pack. Give me a
break!
I'm no techie, but I'm not stupid either. That's a gimmick to sell
'aftercare', where their real money is, in my estimation.

With instructions I can get this done, I just know it!

If this product (QuickBooks) is not compatible with XP Home Edition, I
need
to know so I can have rebuttal to Inuit.

Thanks so much for reading my 'rant' over this problem.
