Installation Trouble

My Story:

Way back when I first went from commercial ToonTalk to Weblabs
ToonTalk, I tried to preserve the former as a runnable system while
installing the latter.  To do this, I told the installer to install
the latter as "Weblabs ToonTalk" instead of the default "ToonTalk" in
the Animated Programs directory under Program Files.

Recently I switchd from dial-up to DSL, so it's now fast and easy for
me to download new versions of TT.  I made a CD (really a CD-RW) of TT
3.125X.

When I installed 3.125X, I did not change the default location, so it
installed itself over commercial ToonTalk.

I'm running Windows XP.  I install software as an administrator, then
test it as a limited user.  Up until now I have not had (unsoluable)
trouble running TT as a limited user.

If I remember correctly, it was at this point that I was able to
successfully run TT 3.125X as a limited user.

Add/Remove Programs then showed two versions of TT installed.  I told
it to remove the older one, which would be some earlier version of
Weblabs ToonTalk.

I am not sure whether at this point, I ran TT successfully as a
limited user.  I either did so at this point or at the previous point
above where I mention it.

I then tried upgrading to the latest TT, one that does not have a full
install.  I ran it as the administrator, but I could not run it as the
limited user.  The symptom I get is a box that comes up and says
USSTT32.dll can't be found.

I tried uninstalling TT, reinstalling it, and rebooting.  I still get
the same symptom when I try to run TT as the limited user.

An interesting effect is that when I installed TT 3.125X for the first
time, it was defaulting to UK English, but in subsequent attempts, it
remembers that I want US English.  Therefore, the uninstall isn't
removing all information about the installation.

I could really use some support because I'd like to continue testing
TT as a limited user.  I suppose otherwise, I will just test it as the
administrator, but I would prefer not to have to do that.

Maybe my next step is to uninstall again, then remove all per-user
information that I can find (both for the limited user and the
administrator), then reinstall, then reboot, then try again as the
limited user?

Thanks in advance for any attention to this issue.

By the way, I'm still having the effect (as I mentioned in the issue
file in an issue that is now marked "not reproducible") that in
full-screen mode, TT does not use up the whole screen; it leaves a
black border around the view.
