Why are Administrator Rights required For the use of Profiler in Windows 2000/XP?
In order to use Profiler in Windows 2000/XP, you must be logged in as a user with administrator rights. This is due to the fact that Profiler creates a virtual keyboard to record commands and it must be able to write to the Windows registry database in order to do this. Supported Logitech game controllers should function normally for all users provided the devices are first installed by a user with administrator rights. However, if a new device is plugged in or a connected device is plugged into a different USB port, while a user is logged in without administrator rights, the device will not be detected. This is because anytime a new device is plugged in or a device is plugged into a different port, the Windows registry must be updated. The workaround is to login as administrator or as a user with administrative rights. For information on configuring users rights, please consult your Windows 2000/XP manual or contact Microsoft.
