One user can't run program while others can

i am having an issue a little bit strange.
I installed autocad lt 2015 in some computers in my network with administrator account, and i'm having issues with one user in particular. When he starts autocad, nothing happen, although if i run as administrator it works like a charm.
I did the next tests:
-Uninstalled and reinstall autocad.
-Gave user admin rights to the program.
-Login with other users (same permissions as this one) and they are able to run it.
-Check the user account on the active directory and it's exactly the same as the others.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards.
I wonder if the user could have a profile locally on that machine that is causing issues?

psexec fails with error Could not start PsExec service on NTDB2UT02:

We recently moved from a Windows 2003 server to Windows 2008 R2 server and now I see that all my psexec jobs fail.
thsi is how they are coded to run:
c:\shell\psexec.exe \NTDB2UT02 -u conseco\plat -i cmd.exe
I then get prompted for a password and as soon as I enter the password I get the error message below
PsExec v1.31 - execute processes remotely

Could not start PsExec service on NTDB2UT02:
The system cannot find the file specified.
So I went back to the Windows 2003 server that we were using earlier and I know it worked there because I have proof that it ran, and now I get the same message from the old Windows 2003 server too.
I read on a few posts that I could use the cmdkey to add a cached credential and I even tried doing that on both servers, but it didnt help at all.
I am going to try using a newer version of psexec, but I doubt that this will change anything at all.
Any tips or if anyone has successfully figured out a solution to this (or even a workaround), sharing that will be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
Mike
I have struggled with this on 2003 server and found that when I turned off firewall everything worked, then when turning firewall back on it didn't. I found the problem under firewall exceptions "File and Printer Sharing". When you go to edit the service, there are 4 entries, and when you check the scope they are set for your network subnet only. My problem was/is that we use multiple subnets and this machine did not match to the other machines trying to access it. If you find this is also your problem, and not the admin$ share issue (you can search against that), update the network subnets in a custom list (or if you're daring to attacks, allow any computer - bad idea). You only need to update ports 139 and 445 Hope this helps someone.

Xampp Ports openning without administrator rights

I am developing a web application ofline using Xampp. I am working offline for this an a machine with administrator rights. I tried running it on my work machine but Apache and SQL will not start because of the ports. What rights do I need to set from the admin user in order to give all time acces for this programs? (I do need to go to the IT desk and ask them to do it, so I need a working solution)
It was an easy fix after all. I just asked the IT staff to log in as administrator and give permisions to the xampp folder for everything. This does not endager the company policy.

No access to Program Files in Windows 7

I'm totally new to windows 7 and have just installed Apache server. I want to change httpd file... But when opening file with notepad and saving it, I get a message that I have no rights... My user is a member of Administrators group. What else can I do?
Thanks
P.S. Could you suggest any nice tutorials on dealing with user administration and admin accounts?
You need to take ownership of the folder, which requires a registry hack. (You can search for takeown registry)
My advice is to install your Apache server outside of "Program Files". You should not have files requiring regular modifications in Program Files.
Maybe try a different editor, say NotePad++. Run in Administrator. Also make sure that Apache is not running and any related tasks are shut down. Try it in Safe Mode if you get desperate.

how do you uninstall an xampp installation that refuses to uninstall?

I downloaded xampp 1.7.3 (32) on windows 7 (64) in the programs(86) folder. both MySql and Apache refuse to run, they start and then instantly turn of. All ports are free.
So I decide to uninstall however, when i run the uninstaller I receive the following error
"Input Error: Can not find script file "C:\Program Files (x86)\xampp\uninst.temp\xampp_uninstall.vbs" XAMPP uninstall not OK
Why is there spaces in the above line and does this matter "C:\Program Files (x86)" ?
Can somebody please help me to understand the problem & uninstall xampp (or get it to work). It does not show in the control panel so I am stuck. The documentation clearly states the uninstaller should be used.
I have asked this question on serverfault but since ive had so much help here, i was wondering if anybody here knows what the problem could be?
All help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Uninstalling Service using XAMPP Control Panel for 1.7.3 and 1.7.7:
Right click on /xampp/xampp-control.exe, select Run as administrator, then remove the check marks next to the service you want to uninstall as a service. The trick here is to open XAMPP Control Panel using the 'Run as administrator' option.
If you experience some issues with the XAMPP Control Panel, you might need to do this from the Command Line. See next section for notes on this.
Uninstalling Service using Command Prompt for 1.7.3 and 1.7.7:
Apache: Locate and right click /xampp/apache/apache_uninstallservice.bat, select Run as administrator, follow prompts until completed.
MySQL: Locate and right click /xampp/mysql/mysql_uninstallservice.bat, select Run as administrator, follow prompts until completed.
Additional Notes:
Much of what will work may depend on the user account you installed the service to run as. The Run as administrator may not be necessary. However, it usually does the trick.
Also, you may need to restart your computer and use the Service Manager to Manually Stop the Apache and MySQL Services before trying to run the uninstall scripts.
Let me know if this works. It may require a few attempts.
Best of Luck,
David Carroll
Never install xampp to the x86 folder on windows 7.
directly to the C drive works fine.
Solution for the time being:
System Restore or delete the folder and pretend it never happened.
You may want to try rerunning the XAMPP installer. There may have been some files in the background that corrupted or did not copy correctly on initial install, so a reinstall might help. Also, if sometimes installers will give you the option to remove their program if they detect it is already installed. That might help you get it uninstalled if XAMPP installer supports that feature.
when you unisintall xampp on windows it rest xampp server on system. you must delete it before install another. to delete it open terminal as admin and tipe this command inside
sc delete sevice_name
replace service name by the name of xampp service in your computer to get it do this
tipe win+E --> right click on desktop and select manage(gerer) --> select service in the pannel who will be open and then fin xampp, frequently the name is XAMPP Service
good luck for the rest
Try to stop mySQL service.
Try to close any conf file opened in notepad and then try to uninstall.
