Only administrators can run my application

I am new to dotnet programming and I face a problem with a Windows Forms
application i did when I try to run it on a Windows 2000 Terminal Server.
The application can be run only by administrators of the server. All other
users cannot, I can see the process starting and after a while the process
ends with no error and no message displayed. I assume that the problem has
something to do with security but I cannot figure out what I have to do in
order for the application to run.

Can anyone help me out on this?

Hello Andreas,

What does your application do when you login as a user (terminate, freeze,
etc)?
How are you handling your application security?
Are you using application based security, NTFS permissions, etc?
Is your application calling resources that require admin rights?

I would manually debug this by entering a few lines of code to check the
following
and then output the value of each one to the screen using a message box or
label on your form.
*Authentication - Validate User
*Authorization - Does the user have rights to the resources needed
(Datasource, etc)

This is where I would start at least.

I re-installed Windows 2000 SP4 and the .NET Framework 1.1 and restarted the
server and the problem was solved.

I don't know what was the problem but that worked out for me.

Thanks for the interest anyway
