AutoCad 2015 windows 8.1 working fine. But messing up on the guest account

I am having a problem with Autocad 2015 on my 64 bit system windows 8.1. It works just fine on the admin account, my main account, but it doesnt start on my guest account. It says some problem will caust AutoCad 2015 to shut down. Why is that?

Hello. Your guest account does not have the permissions the program requires to run. Your Admin privileges give you what the program needs, but your guest account is simply too restrictive.

 

You could try to run the icon as “an Administrator”. This may work, or you could try to manually add permissions for the account to the Autodesk folders:

C:\Users\All Users\Autodesk

C:\Users\<the current user>\AppData\Local\Autodesk

C:\Users\<the current user>\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk

 

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Autodesk Shared

C:\Program Files\Autodesk

C:\ProgramData\FLEXnet

C:\ProgramData\Autodesk

 

This may help.
