Error 481 (Invalid image) under an XP limited-rights user account

Hi from Italy!
I'm getting an "Error 481 (Invalid image)" when trying to create PDF files (even the test print from PDFCreator printer's properties dialog box!)
This only happen running with the limited-rights account I created for the daily use of the PC, while as Admin PDFCreator works flawlessly.
I'm running WinXP Home Edition ITA freshly updated to SP3 (but the issue was already there under SP2).
I *guess* it's something related to the limited access rights attributed to the daily-use profile, but have no idea of how to fix it.
Any idea anyone out there? Thanks in advance!
PS: I do have a screenshot of the error window: how can I upload it?
Hi Diabolus
I just had the same problem - seems like PDFCreator needs write access to %windir%\Temp - c:\winnt\temp in my case.
You can troubleshoot problems like this with NTFilemon or similar freeware utilities, to see what directories Windows is trying (and failing) to write to.
