I heeded it in the sense that I read it and understood that it might be the problem. I did go searching in the Control Panel for likely utilities, but I couldn't find anything in User Accounts or anywhere else that would let me set user rights or that even told me what they were. I did not search Windows Help and Support. That sort of cluelessness was meant to be implicit in the statement, "I don't know how to diagnose this sort of failure," but I suppose I should have been more clear. So how does one set that right?
