Thanks, I gave her admin rights and she can now start Eudora, so that was the problem. I would still prefer to remain the only administrator, so things don't get changed that I can't fix. Is the "one administrator, multiple users" concept a practical thing, or should I avoid it? 
Thanks for any advice, Bob

>>I bought a refurbed IBM Thinkpad T40, Win XP Pro SP2, for my wife. It is set up with two users, Bob (administrator), and Marlene (wife). I installed Eudora 5.1 for her email client. When I did that, I was logged in as Bob (the not too good administrator). Now when I log in as Marlene, Eudora will not start. An error message starts to appear, but is instantly covered up by an offer to send MS a report about the problem. I am assuming that "Marlene" can't start Eudora because she hasn't been given the right to do so by the administrator (me). I've been unable to figure out how to give her rights to programs. Can someone steer me to the right place for help.
