Error Initialization. Check dcsuserprot.exe

As "Administrator" on Win 2000 SP 4: Install of PG 3.050 on system that has not had earlier PG versions goes fine. A-ok.

PG autostarts and runs under "Administrator" profile. Ok.

However, under "User" profile, PG does not autostart. Manual PG start has long delay, then gives, "Error Initialization. Check dcsuserprot.exe".

TaskManager looks ok: shows dcsuserprot.exe and pgaccount.exe, then also shows procguard.exe after manual start.

Might be a Win 2000 security priviledges issue. However, the ProcessGuard directory and ProcessGuard\logs directory do both have read/write access.

What're the fixes: for "User" autostart of PG? For allowing "User" to run PG?

Thanks,

Stefan

 

Hi Stefan12,

I can only speak for XP, but this thread should apply to 2K as well: PG3 and multiple account PC's.

The PG3 UI can only be run under an Administrator user - from another account you can use Run As (as Administrator) to access the PG3 UI but it will give an error message about pgaccount.exe not running (see the Pgaccount.exe thread for details). This error message can however be ignored - PG should work fully.

 

Thanks for the references and details, I'll give it another shot.

Stefan
