Hi :) Just to settle your mind a bit by reducing some of the variables. None of this means that there is no problem. Clearly there is, but Stuart is one of the top stars on this mailing list. Everyone here is amazing imo, but some people such as Stuart take it up a few notches.
In Windows the "Admin User", as with the "Super User" in Gnu&Linux, should be able to read/write everywhere. Installing programs as AdminUser/SuperUser is normally the only way to install things - whether by elevating a normal user (in Gnu&Linux sudo, as in "do as SuperUser") or by directly logging in as an AdminUser/SuperUser (Gnu&Linux has a default one called "Root"), both ways should produce almost identical results. Having installed a program as Admin/SuperUser the program 'should' then be run by normal users. Clearly this is where the problem is showing up in this particular case. However the problem may have occured during the install process. Clearly it's not running the way it normally does, ie the way it 'should'. Renaming the User Profile fixes many weird things that shouldn't be going wrong and a reinstall/upgrade 'should' go smoothly. So it's definitely a good thing to try early on.
