No problems at all from my admin. acc. but when I try to run IE from son's limited acc. it brings a "visual C++ runtime library" error which says ieexplore.exe has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way contact the applications support team for more info. Would be really grateful for any help as six year olds and admin accounts don't mix!

I think something else is running or has been loaded like some software that opens with IE. A limited account ought to run IE by default. I had a dickens of a time setting up some friends machine for their kids with their old non-XP software. I set up all accounts with admin and loaded all their software either by using the autorun from CD IF it was XP supported or FROM the compatibility settings and then running the install program and then later setting the program to run in compatibility mode also. Then set the kids accounts to limited. That worked for all but a few 98 (Big name mouse company) games. They never would install. Hope that helps. You might have to do a complete re-install.
