Moira, You have the attention of several different experienced GnuCash users from various different backgrounds, and we all share your frustration.
Your experience does not match that of a typical user. In my opinion there is something unusual about your computer or how you managed to get the file onto it with apparently different privileges than you have now. However, I am not an expert in privileges, so I cannot help you with that part of your problem. Another experiment that I can suggest is to try creating a new GnuCash data file either on a USB key or in a sub-folder on your desktop, and see if you can create a couple of accounts and transactions. Try playing with that for a while, and create and save a text file or a Word document. Good luck and let us know about your progress.
