I was experimenting at home on my XP machine. I want to make different
accts for the different grades at school. Our machines are networked, but
only to share an Internet connection and printers.
I made a few tonight, limited accts, with
their own documents folder. Works well, but one odd thing. I have Office XP
on this computer, whenever I logged onto one of the new accts, a box came
up that said something like "Windows Installer will look for stuff on your
Office XP and Front Page disk"
After a while, an error message comes up that
says "files not found", and it quits looking, I click Ok, then it starts
looking again.
After about 3 times, it stops looking, and things seem to work fine. But it
went
through this whole thing the two times I logged onto one of the limited
accts I made. Does this sound at all familiar?
I can use fast user switching once I've logged on, I don't get the
"looking for installer" message.
If I log onto one of the limited accts for the first time, I get the
"looking for installer" message 3 times. I then can open an office app, I
get the "looking for installer" message once. Then the app works fine.
NOTE: Every time I get the "looking for installer" message, after it says
"files not found...", I click Ok and it either looks again, or it stops and
the app works.
I've tried it several times, the numbers are always the same. 3 times right
after Windows logs onto the acct, then once more when I start an Office app.
