Problems with program that ran on XP

I am using a database program for our ministry called ACS - Automated Church
Systems. The program runs fine until I try to generate some of the reports
and then I get an error that states:

"unable to create local user subdirectory:
C:\winacs\acsrw32\rwdata\acs\untitled report_report data"

The only user set up on this machine is the Administrator and one additional
user with standard rights. I have tried using both of those logins with the
same result.

Any suggestions to correct this problem?

Thanks.

Run the program as an admin. Line any *nix systems, Windows now runs as a
normal user until elevated rights are needed. Unfortunately, many XP
programs are very badly coded and need them even though they really
shouldn't. This does seem to be one of the legitmate cases, however. To run
a program as an Admin, right click on the exe or shourtcut and select "run
as admin".
