No, I'm merely suggesting that, because the account is damaged within
the one registry, but not on all machines, a new account might cure the
problem. Or, because the CURRENT_USER or LOCAL_MACHINE is accessed
differently on machines with only one account, and that somehow affects
the results. I don't know that either is the case personally, I just
mentioned that there was some discussion of multiple accounts one time.
I'm just speculating on WHY multiple users would make a difference.
