There's more than meets the eye! File (and directory) permissions in Win2K
seems to be quite complicated, there's a second level dialog for fine tuning
way beyond understanding... More than once our IT sub-administrators at work
has sawn off the limb they're sitting on (Removed the rights to change
rights :-)
I haven't delved deeper myself, so I have no concrete suggestions.
It can also be a problem of where LSynth is putting temporary files - a
'normal' user in Win2K doesn't have write permission in the 'Program Files'
directory, so if any tempfile is put in the same directory as LSynth
resides, you're out.

Each user has his own part of the registry, and probably no access to the
Admin's parts. Only the HKEY_CURRENT_USER hive is guaranteed to be writeable
(sp?) for any given user. So, if you install as Admin, any registry entries
have been put in Admin's HKCU, unless the installation program asks 'Install
for All users?' and you answer 'Yes'.
