If you didn't see my post #42 (in response to JSWolf's post), please go check it out. Also check out JSWolf's post as well - he was pretty much spot on, given what you described (works for one user on the machine, but not the other), some firewall, AV or other security settings would appear to be the culprit.
Still a no-go, and now I'm getting "too many activations" again. We tried disabling all the startup items, etc. and it still asks for activation. We've been trying to launch it from the desktop icon every time. It's really quite disheartening.

Her case number is: 0182013254

Some additional information, in case it matters--She is running AVG free for virus protection. We also turned off the windows firewall, to no avail. In comparing the registry entries for both user accounts, I find that under "Adept/Activation/" the user account that works has fewer entries than the one that doesnt. Also, the content of those entries doesn't line up. (ie. 003 on hers doesn't contain the same info as 003 on mine).

Any more thoughts?
