hpqwmi.exe missing

I own a brand new HP Compaq nx6125 (model EK159ET). I have created an
additional user for every day work, who hasn't got admin rights.
Whenever I logon with this user, I get an error message (I translate it
from german; the original words in english will be others): "The
following file hpqwmi.exe is missing or damaged. Re-Install the HP
Wireless Assistant." When I start with the administrator account I don't
get this message. When I give administrator rights to my working account
(which I generally don't want to do), I don't get this message. I tried
to reinstall the assistant, but it wouldn't help.

The file is there. It is located in c:\programs\hpq\shared, and I can
even start it with my working account by double clicking it.

Thanks for your help

Is the PATH variable different for the user account than for the
administrator account?

Can the user account browse the directory
C:\PROGRAMS\HPQ\SHARED without problems?

The PATH variable is exactly the same. And I can browse the directory
without problems. I entered "hpqwmi" in the command window and the
program seemed to run without error message (doing nothing).
