 Hi Support. I am evaluating Actual Multiple Monitors and have discovered an issue. I am running XP Media Center Edition SP3. I have two accounts on the system. They are the proper Administrator account and my user account. I have no problems running the app fr om the Administrator account. However my user account is a limited or non privileged account. When I launch the app under my user account, it triggers the Windows Run As dialog box asking to run under my user account or Administrator account. I select to run under my account and the app runs fine. So why is the app triggering the Windows Run As dialog? This is very annoying and I do not see the point. If I want to run the app under the Administrators account security context, I will run it while logged in to the Administrator account. Another way I could do this is to right click on the .exe and select Run As. Other than this problem, the app is excellent and very feature rich. Thanks for your support...

 Hello mrgreg.

As what user account was you logged in when installing the Actual Multiple Monitors?

Best regards.

 Hi Bogdan,

Thank you for your reply. I installed the app using the Administrator account. My user account is a limited non privileged account and thus cannot install software. This is how I install all software on my machine. Is this a problem for AMM? Thanks for your support...

 Hello mrgreg

No, it is not a problem.

The reason is enabled option "enable support of command prompt windows and console applications" (Options > Command Prompt Windows).

Disable it and the "Run as..." dialog will stop appearing each time you launch AMM.

Best regards.

 Hi Bogdan,

Thanks for your advise. I selected not to enable support of command prompt and console applications when I installed the app from the administrator account. However this setting is user specific so my user account had this enabled. Disabling this setting stopped the run as box from appearing. Thanks for your support...
