Error after start: "Can't execute ... permission denied"

Hi Mike,

thanks for the answer but until now I could not find a solution.

No, I always logged in with as the same user name, and I have admin rights.

Sorry, but I can't follow. (First to mention: I have a German language 
version but however, I should find the corresponding terms.)

After right click - properties - I don't find "read and execute" but 
only a tick box "write protect". I explicitely chose NO for the main 
folder and all subfolders. What is curious is that though all files in 
all folders now have NO write protection, the folders still show a 
_shaded_ marked tick box for YES. I don't know what this means.

I don't have a register card called "security" and thus, no "full 
control" option. If I click on a folder and choose properties then there 
is an item "network access and security" but still there is no way 
leading to "full control" or "user permissions".

I think this is what I described above at first.

Cheers still have to wait ...  :-(


Thanks!
