Catalyst 4.05 m63 UB FC4

its probably adminstrator permissions related - i create a couple of files when the app starts up.

Last series of G4 Powerbook 1.67GHz, OS 10.4.7, 1.5 G of RAM

its just an administrator permissions thing.

i changed this in m63

you can run m62 as administrator, but you must control which user created the advanced files like presets and so on. if you are not the owner of this files you get an error message when you will quit the application that you can't overwrite the setup files.

m63 is for users and administrators.

I am the only user account on my laptop and it is an admin account. As far as I am concerned I should have complete access to everything on my machine. Am I incorrect?

I am obviously missing a fairly fundamental point here.

I appreciate the problem is fixed but I would like to understand what it all means. If I am mistaken in the way I use my computer I would really like to know.

when you haven't change something yes, but there exists much more users and also a superuser. you can find more about all the users and roots in osx and unix manual about system administration.

a system like osx works with user and group permissions. create a second acount on your system and then you can see, that you as user can't look into the other private user folders (just some public folders). you can't open this, you can't write, read....

this is really extended unix/osx system administration....

have look at this links:

Thanks Mike

I was getting "accounts" mixed up with "users". That all makes sense now.
