second user on PC

Hi,

I'm Administrator on our PC, my wife is a regular user. I installed
ActiveSync 5.4 to sync my HTP S710. Everything is working ok for me but.....
My wife keeps getting messages that ActiveSync want's to install itself on
the computer and of course that does not work for 2 reasons:
1) The source CD is not in the drive
2) She has no rights to install software, not does she want those rights.

It's now rely interfering with her work, the darn installation screen kepps
popping up every few second when she starts the media player or something
else that seems connected to ActiveSync.

Did I do something wrong during installation?
How can I make sure other users are NOT bothered by ActiveSync and I can
still use it?

The machine is a Windows XP SP2 with MS Office 2003 SP3 and all the latest
patches.

Hi,

In case anyone is interested. The only sollution was:
a) Make my wife an administrator
b) Insert the installation disk
Log in as my wife and let the software do it's thing. Any onther sollution
was not possible. So be warned. If one user want's to use ActiveSync it MUST
be installed for all users, every user needs to log in with Admin rights and
the CD needs to be in the drive.
For something from Microsoft this a) Does not surprise me but b) I had
expected by now with all the Vista security stuff they would have run into
this and fixed it.
