As a Power User in Windows XP, you can load Software like the Administrator (except for legacy software which changes the OS(MS Web Site) � even though in XP Groups Folder (in Computer Management), it say that Power Users can run Legacy applications in addition to certified applications). So how come then, when as a Power User, I try to install the downloaded free version of Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.05, I get through 99% of the InstallShield Wizard, it hits 100% and then I get a message saying �Only members of the Administrator�s group can run this setup. Setup will now exit.� Does anyone know what�s so funky about this Free Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0 download that will not let it be installed by a Windows XP Power User, when this Power User has no trouble loading any Macromedia Software which is definitely changing the registry. Is the Free Download of Adobe Reader 5.0 designed for Windows XP Logo because according to Adobe's Web site "In general, Adobe applications that haven't yet received the Designed for Windows XP Logo need to be installed and used by Administrators.". Can anybody verify if Adobe Reader is Designed for Windows XP Logo or direct me some on Adobe's site where I may find more information about the Free Download of Adobe Reader 5.0 and Windows XP Power Users. My name is Tom and would love any help or Advice - Everybody tells me it should load and Microsoft doesn't comment. You can answer me here or e-mail me at bullbaa@Yahoo.com Thanks
