    Does Skype need installation in the account where it will be used?

    Skype was installed in admin.-account of my winxp. It will stay logged in. I only close it. in admin.account i see it in infobar.
    in restricted account i cannot start. beforehand i logged it out in admin.-account.
    Maybe i must reinstall in restricted account?

    Do you get any messages when you try to start it?

    Have you tried to "run as admin" to see if that helps?

    Not yet solved completely

    Not yet completely solved. New problem
    Sometimes skype get lost in restricted account at least in infobar since i only close it do not logout.
    I suspect running TFC is the reason. in winxp account-logout does not take place when TFC is finished. in win7 manual shutdown is needed.
    in winxp restart is done automatically.

    Must then set admin rights again. and restart skype. when gone i cannot start skype in restricted acount at all. it doesnt react.
    yes also after correct installation in restricted account with admin-right.
    What next to avoid this shutting down?
    NB: In two day everything is different since win7 will run on new drive.

    Starting PC opening restricted account, checking outlook and opening firefox. Skye cannot be seen in infobar of winxp or will be loaded.
    it will only be loaded after loggin out and in again....
    That means i must wait longer until its loaded before opening firefox or whatever. skype is the last program which will shop up.

    The real reason Skype is getting lost

    The real reason why skype is getting lost in my winxp-pc is not waiting for the skype-startup-sound.
    solved by logging out of the account and relogging.

    Update:
    When skype is online in administators account its in no way possible to make it running at the same time in the other restricted account. one must do this:
    1. shut-down, not only close skype in adminstrators account.
    2. most probably give administrators right to restricted account.
    3. start skype in normally restricted account(temporarily with admin.-rights).
    4. change back to restriction. logout-login again and wait until skype-sign can be seen or skype-presence-sound is heard.
    Only after that doing other steps.

    Was a bit too complicated explained way to make skype running again in restricted account.
    simply logout from adminstrators account and it will run again in restricted.
    only if skype doesnt want to come again one must go the complicated way.
