No - this was my only incursion into nursery, suck-a-thumb, security. I was
trying to use exclusively Adept, since that is what my granddaughter will
probably do and it is her computer. I normally update a new system before I
do anything else, but I was having trouble with Adept. Which is where we
came in. :-(
But your diagnosis was right and the solution was simple once I found it. I
should have been using Adept Manager, not Adept. So why does the big menu
entry for "Add and Remove programs" lead to Adept???
