That's a separate user account. Komodo settings are unique to each user account. It sounds like your Python file paths are also in your User path, not the System path. That would explain why the Administrator account doesn't see them. Why not try what two of us have already suggested and run Komodo in your normal user account with elevated privileges? -Mike On Sun, Mar 4, 2012 at 4:42 PM, Gregory M.
