I have windows XP configured with 2 users. the Master account is used exclusively for install of software/updates, and the main ID is for general use. This is done also to help protect from viruses.

Problem: after HOI2 install, HOI2 will only play on the master ID... attempting to bring up the game under the main id does not work.

Is there a built-in detail in the install that prevents anyone but the "Install ID" from playing the game? If so, there must be a workaround. I am willing to sign non-disclosure to obtain information.
 
Do the accounts have seperate registry entries, that could be your trouble.
What happens when you try and play from the other account?
