[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1363775"] I'm not familiar with the program but: 1. Why are you using more than one account? 2. Why aren't you using an admin account? I have found through experience that poorly-designed PC port type programs TEND not to have conceived of the idea of working in non-admin accounts, because almost all Mac users are of course using the admin account. So the "answer" short of getting Nokia to hire a more talented Mac developer is "use the admin account." Unlike in Windows, there's not a security issue in using the admin account on a Mac. [/QUOTE]
