As after Micorsoft's latest vulnerabilty announcement, my IT consultant did a review and noted that my user account also had admin status and recommended that all programs be run a user status with limited rights.  I have now spent the better part of two days to run as recommended.  I tried an install under Admin user and could not get it to work with my own user ID.  Finally today I installed it under my User ID with admin status and then use the shift/advance in properties to make the selection to allow it to run with another user status.  I can now run it under my user ID if I select the option to login and run Qimage with Admin status.

However, when I try to go from my DAM software, IDImager, to Qimage to edit and print, I cannot access Qimage...I get a Micorsoft error message.

Given the the risks lurking in cyberspace, I cannot ignore the warnings about runing with admin status on a daily basis with my limited user account.  Even though I have backups, I cannot afford the the time cost if I get hacked.

Is there a way to over come my problem....did I overlook something obvious in the install?

Mike,

Thanks for your reply. I finally solved the problem this morning before I got around to checking my email.

My problem was I was using the top level documents&settings/applicationss data/allusers path.  The light finally went on and I installed into the my user level applications data folder and now all is well.  My IDimager can see Qimage with no problems.

This is a great relief because Qimage is the centerpiece of my new workflow. The latest MS vulnerabiltiy announcement shocked me into applying Peter Krogh recommendations clean up my "DAM" act.

With Qimage, I can edit and print from any catalog level and with Albums and Jobs I can deliver repeat orders without having to go to my catalogs.

Again, thanks.

David
