Does CS5 require Admin Rights?

I work at an IT helpdesk, and many of our users that are just now starting to get Adobe CS5 are experancing problems.
All of our users DO NOT have admin rights.
Whenever they launch Photoshop CS5, this is the error they receive:
The instruction at "0x0fcaa8dc" referenced memory at "0x000b0000". The memory could not be "read".

When we run the program with an administrator account, it opens just fine without any error.
This is the first version of Adobe CS that we have run into this issue with. CS4 was running like a champ previously for all of out non-admin users.
Does anyone know if there are certain files i need to permission to get this working for our users.
Thank you.

PS: Extra info:
We are running Windows XP SP3 x86.
We are on a domain

Thanks Chris,
Updated and everything is working normally now.

  • Does java require admin rights for deployment?

    Just like the subject says, if I'm running in a limited user account can I deploy java packages or do I have to have admin rights in order to deploy programs?

    Installing Java on a Windows 2k or XP machine requires Windows administrative privileges - see the appropriate Java Installation Instructions from Sun. If your use of "deployment" means anything else, that's all controlled by the privileges that your administrators give you; there are no requirements or rules other than what they set, as DrClap said. If you're not sure, have them set you up like the other people.

  • Pushing out software that "requires" admin rights....

    I have a piece of software that needs installed on 200 users machines....however the software requires admin rights to install. So, by using group policy, I can successfully push out the software to users that have local admin rights, but it will not install
    on machines that do not have local admin rights.
    Whats the best way to accomplish this without giving 200 people admin rights?

    How did you create a Distribution point ?
    To publish or assign a computer program, you must create a distribution point on the publishing server (I am sure, you must have done that already)
    However, FYI... Here are the steps
    create a distribution point
    Log on to the desired server  as an administrator.
    Create a shared network folder where you will put the Microsoft Windows Installer package (.msi file) that you want to distribute.
    Set permissions on the share to allow access to the distribution package.(Authenticated Users should have
    READ permissions)
    Copy or install the package to the distribution point. 
    Assign a Package
    Computer configuration / Policies / Software Settings / Software installation
    Right-click Software installation, point to New, and then click Package.
    In the Open dialog box, type the full Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path of the shared installer package that you want. For example,
    \\FileServer\Share\software.msi
    Important: Do not use the Browse button to access the location.
    Make sure that you use the UNC path to the shared installer package.
    Click Open.
    Click Assigned, and then click OK. The package is listed in the right pane of the Group Policy window.
    Close the Group Policy snap-in, click OK, and then quit the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in or gpmc.
    When the client computer starts, the managed software package is automatically installed.
    Along with Software Distribution policy, you can set another policy "Always install with elevated privileges"
    User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Installer 
    This policy directs Windows Installer to use system permissions when it installs any program on the system.
    This policy extends elevated privileges to all programs. These privileges are usually reserved for programs that have been assigned to the user (offered on the desktop), assigned to the computer (installed automatically), or made available in Add/Remove Programs
    in Control Panel. This policy lets users install programs that require access to directories that the user might not have permission to view or change, including directories on highly restricted computers.
    If you disable this policy or do not configure it, the system applies the current user's permissions when it installs programs that a system administrator does not distribute or offer.
    Caution : Skilled users can take advantage of the permissions this policy grants to change their privileges and gain permanent access to restricted files and folders. Note that the User Configuration version of this policy is not guaranteed
    to be secure.
     Important: This policy appears both in the Computer Configuration and User Configuration folders. To make this policy effective, you must enable the policy in both folders.
    Hope that helps.

  • CC now requires admin rights, why?

    we have a group of CC accounts that sit behind a corporate firewall on managed machines.  up until today all CC elements were installing correctly and without a problem.  we had to open up the ports to adobe at first, but all has been running smoothly.
    Now however, if I open CC desktop, I am prompted with an update or quit message, if I try to update I now get told that I do not have sufficient admin rights.  in truth I never did! I never needed them for adobe CC.  So why the change?
    To save me the painstaking exercise of asking IT to try and find out what can be done.  Does anyone know what can be done to fix this problem... 
    what do I need to ask IT to do?
    Don't say give full admin rights!
    I can't believe Adobe would force a requirement for admin rights, potentially barring the corporate client market.
    Any help appreciated,
    thanks

  • Merge Modul CrystalReports11_5_NET_2005.msm requires admin rights

    Dear all,
    I created a VB2005 windows forms application  using Crystal Reports XI R2 viewer and managed somehow to  include CrystalReports11_5_NET_2005.msm in a clickonce deployment package. What really bothers me is that local admin rights are required for the CR runtime files during initial installation of the programm (updates work fine as normal user).
    Is there a way to avoid this?
    Can I install CrystalReports11_5_NET_2005.msi prior to the application with (different) admin credentials during user logon and removed the merge module from the clickonce package?
    Any ideas appreciated.
    Regards

    With  the parameter " /qb pidkey=your product key" Glenn delivered the key to a solution. Using the SysInternals-tool psExec I was able to install the CR runtime an my target machines remotly and the users could install my software with normal users rights without problems:
    I used the scripts RemoteInstall.cmd which has one single line
       C:\Programme\PsTools\psexec
    target_machine -u Domain\pcAdmin -c
    server\pathORshare\InstallCR2005-Runtime.cmd
    and InstallCR2005-Runtime.cmd which contains these commands
      c:
      cd %Temp%
      copy
    server\pathORshare\CrystalReports11_5_NET_2005.msi
      crystalreports11_5_net_2005.msi /qb pidkey=my product key
      del crystalreports11_5_net_2005.msi
    BTW: psExec supports a parameter @file with a list of target machines
    Your anwsers have really been a great help.

  • Does user have admin rights to portlet?

    I have a portlet in which 2 groups have access, users of this portlet and admins of this portlet (not portal or community admins) They simply should get different functionality. Does the SettingType.Admin mean you are a portal/community admin or you have "admin" rights to the portlet?

    Neither.
    I'm guessing you're using the hasSettingsRight method of the IDK, no?
    if hasSettingsRight(SettingType.Admin) returns true it implies two things:
    1) You're in the admin prefs gateway and
    2) You have at least edit rights on the portlet object.

  • Help with running programs that require admin rights to laptop

    We are not able to run java, flash, or shockwave on our laptops unless we
    log into the workstation first as an administrator. Is there a way to fix
    this so that the students do not have to log onto the workstation first as
    administrator?
    Thanks,

  • Why does Lightroom Require Admin password each time I open it?

    Hi,
    Just joined the community and downloaded Photoshop as Admin.
    I then enter my non-admin user (same PC).
    Photoshop works fine - I open it no problem.
    Ligghtroom, which I had downloaded a trial version a copule of weeks ago, required me to always enter the Admin pw every time - annoying.
    Does anyone know how to stop this happening?
    Many thanks, Dave

    Dave if you create a new Standard account do you face the same password request?  Is your computer remotely managed?
    I don't believe reinstall Photoshop Lightroom will change the behavior.  If you do wish to reinstall though then please see CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html if you face any difficulties with reinstalling Photoshop Lightroom through the Creative Cloud Desktop application.

  • Does CS5 require a discrete graphics card?

    My computer has a Core 2 Duo and 3GB of memory, but only onboard graphics. The CS5 Design Premium system requirements include "qualified hardware-accelerated OpenGL graphics card, 16-bit colour, and 256MB VRAM". Does this mean I cannot run CS5? Or does it just mean that if I want the benefits of a graphics card, the card must meet those requirements?
    I expected to be able to answer this question myself with a bit of web searching, but haven't been able to! Thanks in advance.

    Thanks Bob, I'll go ahead and try it. As it happens, Photoshop is the part of the suite I anticipate using the least.
    It's a shame the literature is unclear, though — I understand "requirements" to mean exactly that: a minimal specification without which the software will refuse to install. A graphics card could be on a separate "recommended" list.

  • W7 x64 SP1 Programs requiring admin rights stop responding

    PC G560
    Windows7 64bit with SP1 (happened before SP1 as well)
    Hi
    When logged in as a User if I click on anything which requires administrator priviledges, the box comes up to enter the admin password, it does not matter if I enter the correct password or if I click cancel the program then hangs with the circle icon spinning when I hold the cursor over the program. CTRL ALT + DEL and close the unresponsive program and all is OK again.
    Any suggestions please

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Solved it, without a full install. Thanks to another poor sole on this forum.
    I trawled through pages of searches and the most common problem was with Lenovo PC's or certain applications, to say that Lenovo have such a small market share but so many problems really is annoying. a Yahoo search drew me back to this forum, uninstalling Veriface has resolved the issue, which is a shame as I actually liked the face recognition as the laptop is used by all of the family.
    So far Lenovo have not impressed me-Wireless N rating is almost a fraudulent claim, low battery life, constant niggles like this one just solved, only real support is this forum the company support is crap. Touch pad is also diabolical.
    For an offcast of IBM who I rate highly this is poor.
    Anyway, hope this helps others out there.

  • Paired apple ir-remote requires admin rights to operate

    Hi
    I paired my apple remote to my mac book pro (logged in as root). When I now want to control my mac (front row) from a non-administrator account I can't - no reaction when I press menu on my remote control.
    When I unpair the remote, I can control front row from my normal account.
    Help is appreciated.
    Jürgen

    Try pairing it when logged in with a standard account. If it asks for a password to do this, enter another admin name/pw and not root. Maybe this works...

  • ZdM Agent requiring admin rights to install

    Hi,
    We are striving to upgrade our Desktop Agent to 6.5.20.0 from what is
    currently a mixed bag of 4.0.1 upwards.
    Our desktop environment is XP Sp2. ALL users only have User permissions to
    the local environment. This is a constant that cannot change.
    Whilst trying to use NAL to update the ZdM Agent, an MSI error 1603 is
    being encountered. MSI logging reports this error is related to
    insufficeint priveleges to perform the installation. The NAL object is user
    associated and is set to force cache. Manipulation of the unsecure/secure
    system user switches do not solve the issue. Logging in with a user with
    elevated priveleges performs a successful install.
    Is there a method to use NAL to install the ZdM Agent in a User
    permission-level environment?
    Regards,
    Gary.

  • Grant user admin rights, install itune, ungrant rights?

    On Windows XP, installing iTunes requires admin rights. However, it is not good to use an admin account for regular work. For the Palm Desktop, the workaround was to grant admin rights to the user account, install the application using the user-turn-admin account, then ungrant admin rights. Will this last step cause problems for iTunes, or does iTunes require admin rights for its regular operation (outside of being installed)?

    Actually, I can't find the thread! But the solution is that installing it as Admin still lets it be used by other user accounts, and each user account.

  • Does Final Cut Studio require Adminstrative rights to work

  • Why does WD Lock / Unlocker require administration rights?

    It's really bloody annoying. I purchased the WD My Passport 2TB Portable Hard Drive because it had hardware hardware encryption thus it shouldn't need a device driver like software hardware encryption programs do. I've been trying to get a decently sized fast portable usb powered hard drive with hardware encryption and password protection that i can use on any PC regardless of account permissions for years now and i am still struggling. Don't you hard drive companies understand that people wish to use their portable hds at work as well as at home? The only company i've found to include locking / unlocking software that doesn't require admin rights is by Intergral but they don't do portable usb powered hard drives, only memory sticks  It's obvious it can be done, i don't just get why no one else is doing this? Basically i've got a super small and fast 2tb hard drive that i can't take advantage of the hardware encryption / password software because of this silly issue of requiring administration rights to access a drive when password protected. My work PC runs Windows XP and when plugging the drive in (without a password), it loads up without the the need for an admin account. 

    The Unlocker is poorly designed. When a standard Windows user account connects a locked drive and launches WD Drive Unlock.exe (prompt pops up in AutoPlay), UAC (User Access Control) elevation occurs and the administrator password is required. That is a the fault of the WD programmers - they should not require Admin permissions to do a simple drive unlock when the correct password is entered. The Unlocker should be rewritten to allow a Windows standard user account to enter the correct password and unlock the drive.
