I put my brother on a limited user account on XP Home. He likes to play those games from candystand.com but the games won't load when he is on his account. It just shows a blank box with a small "X" in the upper left corner. If I switch to my administrator account, the games load fine. Is there something I can do to allow him to play these Shockwave games without giving him adminstrator access?? Any fixes??

Thanks

Try this:
1. Right click on the folder were the program installed.
2. Click on Security
3. Click on Users and give him full Access, Read and Write
4. Click Ok

This is what I do and the games seem to run fine after this… The wording might differ a little since I have Spanish version of WindowsXP.
