Picture Manager need help

[Adelphia]

I am running Office 2003 on Windows XP Pro logged into a local domain. When
I give the user administrator rights on the local domain account, the
editing features work. If I set the user to a power user, the editing
features no longer work. I can click the edit and the options appear but
when I try to adjust the brightness for example, it defaults back to the
original settings. If I try to crop, I can move the images frame but when I
click OK to save the setting, the frames move back to their original
position. Everything works fine when user has administrator privileges. I
tried modifying the security settings of the Picture Manger executable file
to give full control to all users but this had no effect. I have three
identical new systems and this problem has occurred on two of the three
systems.

Adelphia,
Not an answer but question to you,
If you save the file while logged into the admin account on the user system do you have the ability to edit in the power user account?
Are you using Share Point with Office deployed from a Windows server version?
Just a question for comparison of systems...

Does not matter who or how the file was saved. Once rights
are set to Power User for the domain log in, the actual
edit features stop working.

I am experiencing the same problem. I have yet to find
anything on Microsoft's support site to help me solve the
problem. It would be great if someone from Microsoft
would reply with some answers to this issue.

It would indeed be nice to get an answer from MS; better yet an answer from
MS containing the URL of an MSKB article acknowledging the issue. It has
been raised a number of times in this NG since Office 2003 was released.
Doesn't seem to be a universal problem, but it's common enough to need a
fix.

For what it's worth, the problem is not fixed in Office 2003 SP1.

Here's my latest observation:

I just joined my computer to a domain. My account was a Power User in the
local SAM, and is a Power User in the domain.

Under the workgroup account, Picture Editor worked normally. With the domain
account, I have the same editing problems Adelphia describes.

This affects all files, not just files created while using the workgroup
account.

This problem is quite common among my clients. It needs to be acknowledged
on the KB, and it needs a fix.

Have you contacted Microsoft Product Support Services?

Nope. PSS charges too much, and I'd have to justify not only MS's charge,
but the cost of my time, to my clients. The production folks would love me
for solving this, but the people I report to don't do production, and would
consider Picture Manager too far from the line of business to pay me for
solving it. Especially since I don't have any reason to believe there is a
solution at this time.

The NG is free; I don't mind spending a little of my own time posting here
since I'm here anyway researching the issue. And as a former MVP for
WordBasic/VBA, I know NG posts can draw official attention to these issues,
particularly when an MVP takes the trouble to pass the info along.
