Carole, what is it you are trying to do when you receive the message that you
need permission? If you are installing a program you will need to have
administrator level privileges. If you are logged in the "Carole" acct. and
attempt to access a file that is in the Admin. documents area, you will also
get a permission required statement.
Give us a few more details on what you are doing and what happens when you
are doing it.
