Problems when running without admin.

Recommended Posts

Speccy seems to work fine in 2000 and XP without admin (minus some features), but it doesn't even load in Vista and 7 without admin.

 

Is this a bug with Speccy, or can Speccy not run without admin on Vista and 7?

Are you talking about installing or running?

 

I have WinXP and Vista and they both work at they should do but if I take the exe to work you get the admin message and it shows all values apart from the later version which says Graphics - Access is denied, but the earlier version showed info there. ;)

Running.

 

On Vista and 7, Speccy doesn't load at all without admin rights. It does load without admin rights in XP (and I think 2000), however.

 

I'm wondering if this is intentional, or if it could be fixed.

No it doesn't properly. I've taken it to work and it shows an admin messagebox on startup then you get Access denied on the Graphics. ;)

Yes, it does. I'm not arguing what features work and what don't, I'm saying (for the third time now) that it *runs* without admin on XP and 2000, but doesn't run *at all* without admin on Vista and 7.

Yes and I'm saying it doesn't run properly without admin rights. ;)
