I'm sorry you are experiencing this problem. Which version of Test Studio are you using? We recently implemented changes so that you do not need to run as administrator. I've tried to reproduce your issue with our latest release R2 2011.2.928, and the recorder works fine without admin privileges.
If the issue still persist using our latest release, please give us some more info on your configuration(version of Internet Explorer, OS) and the exact error you are receiving so we can try to reproduce the issue and fix it.
Hope to hear from you soon!
Kind regards,

I'm sorry for the late response. It is really strange that the recorder is not working on your side. I've built the exact same environment here, but I'm still unable to reproduce the issue. This leads us to believe the issue might be somehow machine specific.
Pease if you haven't done so already, configure your browser according this instruction. And perform the steps outlined in our troubleshooting guide here.
If the issue still persist, try recording on a different machine and see if it works.
Please try the suggested above and let me know the result!

I have similar problem but under IE9.
Configuration:
Windows 7 64-bit
Test Studio 2011.2.1413.0
IE 9.0.8112.16421
If I run IE9 under different credentials using runas command then Test Studio cannot connect to this browser. Error below appears:
[03-06 13:06:05,Telerik.TestStudio.exe(5176:6),Recording] RecordViewController.BrowserLaunched() : Error launching the recorder. Error : System.TimeoutException: Wait for condition has timed out

IE9 is configured based on this http://www.telerik.com/automated-testing-tools/support/documentation/user-guide/configure-your-browser/internet-explorer.aspx

I am sorry you are running into problems. I am not sure I completely understand the steps you are taking that lead up to the error. You state "If I run IE9 under different credentials using runas command then Test Studio cannot connect to this browser". My confusion here is that if you click our Record button, we launch IE for you. You don't get the opportunity to use the RunAs menu option. Similarly when you execute a test we launch IE for you. Again you don't get the opportunity to use the RunAs menu option. What exactly are you doing that leads to his behavior? Can you record a video of your actions so we can fully understand what you are trying to do? Jing is a good and free screen recorder.
From a high level, why would you even try to run IE under different credentials? What problem are you trying to tackle? I fear Test Studio may not be able to support it simply because (as I previously stated) when execute a test we launch IE for you. You don't get the opportunity to use the RunAs menu option.
We do have this one troubleshooting guide that may assist you however:

If we use "Record" button we have two options:
- launch new recording browser
- use existed open browsers
So I have open three IE9 windows. Each IE9 window is opened under different credentials (by using runas command).
Each user has different security configuration that's why it's important for me to record tests under different credentials.
I know I can do it by configuring IE to asking credentials every time "Internet Options" -> "Security" tab -> button "Custom level" -> "User Authentication" -> set "Prompt for user name and password"
By I wonder why Telerik Test Studio cannot connect to those existed open browsers.
I hope it's clear now
Thanks in advance

Thanks yes that does clear up how/when you are running into this problem.
Taking a step back for a moment to look at this from a high level, even if we resolve the "use existed open browsers" issue, it's not clear to me how that will help you in the long run. The next problem I see you will run into is that when you go to execute your test, Test Studio will launch IE for you using the credentials of the currently logged on user. It won't launch it using the credentials you recorded your test under.
How are you planning to playback your recorded test scripts such that they will succeed?

So in this situation I recorded my script as I mentioned below ("I know I can do it by configuring IE to asking credentials every time "Internet Options" -> "Security" tab -> button "Custom level" -> "User Authentication" -> set "Prompt for user name and password")
But I have another problem which is similar to problem described here http://www.telerik.com/automated-testing-tools/community/forums/test-studio-express/general-discussions/some-problems-with-alert-and-download-dialogs.aspx
Script consists of three simply steps:
1. go to main page of application
2. dialog to enter login and password appears (it's login and password for domain)
- it was recorded as Generic dialog but I added Logon Dialog
3. user is logged
When I run this scripts error appears (the same as in mentioned link above):
Wait for condition has timed out

or another error:

InnerException:

at ArtOfTest.WebAii.Design.IntrinsicTranslators.Descriptors.DialogHandlerDescriptor.Execute(IAutomationHost browser)

But there is a funny situation because when I go to the last step and selected Run -> To Here everything it's ok
Please help
The first error "WaitUntilReady has timed out" tells me that Test Studio timed out waiting for the browser to return to a ready state after performing some action (click, select, etc.). The usual cure for this is to set "SimulateRealClick" to true.
The second error simply means Test Studio did not see/handle an some expected dialog. I need to see this problem first hand before I can help diagnose it. Can you record a video of this problem happening? Jing is a good and free screen recorder.
