Autocad 2008 can't run without administrator privileges?

[dismantle]

I have windows xp and autocad 2008. I can't run autocad without administrator privileges. Is this fixed in Acad 2009? If not, is there a way I can add exeption to my user account?

Why not? Admin rights are not required.
What is it doing or not doing?

No difference. It's never been "broken".

could be that the original installation was not properly finished. we've had trouble like this at work when the administrator would install the program and then a normal user would be the first to start the program following the installation.

I logged on as an administrator and installed and used the program for 6 months with no problem. Today I created a new account and that happened.
