How can I get PhotoScore to run in read-only user accounts under Windows 2000/XP?
The best solution is to upgrade to v4.1 which runs with no problems in read-only user accounts, although it needs to be fully installed on an account with administration rights first. To do this with PhotoScore v3.1 continue reading: PhotoScore needs to store information about scanned pages to disk in a folder called ‘MusicPages’. The path by default is within the installation folder, which may have restricted access for some users. It is however possible for an administrator to edit the following registry key using regedit so that the ‘MusicPages’ folder is placed at an alternative path where a restricted user does have write access: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Neuratron\PhotoScore\Full\DataPath\MusicPagesPath This is the key for PhotoScore Professional. If using other versions, substitute the text ‘Full’ with ‘Lite’, ‘Demo’, ‘Lite Demo’, ‘MIDI Lite’, ‘MIDI Lite Demo’ etc as necessary.
