Hi Peter,
I know nothing about Duxbury. There's a couple of things you can try.
Probably the quickest would be to temp change your account to an admin account.
1. Hit start.
2. Hit acc cursor to user accounts, press return.
3. Tab to change your account, hit return.
4. Change the radio button from standard to administrator, tab to
OK/apply your way out. You may get UAC/password prompts along the way.
The other things you can do is look a the link I provided to log in using the
hidden admin account. Or try running Duxbury in Admin Mode. Find the shortcut
on yoru desktop, hit apps key, if a didn't work, (no idea why), cursor down to
Run as admin and press return.
Remember, if it breaks, you keep both pieces. Smiles.
Barry.

Rather complicated. Using Ducksbury which needs to write to files within the
Ducksbury folder and on trying to do this it produces an access violation error
message. On looking at the properties of the Ducksbury folder JAWS tells me
that the write to disk property is "partially checked". My daughter tells me
that it is greyed out. Anyway, I went through the process of unchecking this
box , pressing the continue button and then agreeing to the change being made.
However, that property remains partially checked and the problem with Ducksbury
persists.
George tells me that it is a windows problem and that I need to make this
change logged in as the administrator.
Hope this makes sense.

Hi,
It depends, what are you trying to do as an admin?

Thanks for that. However, where does my focus have to be when I hit the aps
key. I tried doing it from the desktop with nothing focussed but looking down
the context menu there did not seem to be anything appropriate. I also hit the
letter A after having activated the aps key and that didn't do anything.

Hi peter,
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/enable-the-hidden-administrator-account-on-windows-vista/
However, you can run apps and the like in an elevated admin mode from your
standard win 7 ccount. Simply hit apps key, then the letter A. Say yes to the
UAC prompt, or provide the password.
Regards,
Barry.
