Our division purchased Kid Pix Deluxe 4 for Schools (School Edition) for the Elementary schools. We built an MSI package for the software and pushed it out to the computer labs. The software has worked well since September but we are now having issues at certain schools. When a student/teacher, even myself with Admin access, run the program, we receive the following error: Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library Runtime Error! C:\Program Files\The Learning Company\Kid Pix Deluxe 4 School\KP.exe abnormal program termination It's not happening on every system, just some. We're tried the following to rectify the problem: - re-installing the msi package - replacing certain files (one of our Techs figured this out) - contacted Tech Support but they can't duplicate the problem so they haven't been much help Has anyone else come across the problem or have any ideas? Thx

Can you point me in the direction of how to go about doing this? Thx

Some student have figured out that they can install software to their home folder on the server. We have a Windows 2000 domain with XP clients, when students log on, the GPO locks the clients up tight (or so we thought). The two Instant Messaging apps they are usually installing are Trillian and Easy Messenger. We've been able to block most web sites that have the Easy Messenger file but Trillian is more of a pain. Does anyone know you can prevent users from installing software to their home folder?
