Ok, so this is what happened. I gave my wife my old laptop, added her as a user and then deleted my home folder and account. I thought everything was fine but now the permissions in the applications folder aren't working properly. Even though she is listed as the administrator, every time she tries to update a program it says that she does not have enough permissions. So then she has to call me, i have to delete the application first and then drag the new one into the applications folder. What do I have to change so that she can rewrite applications?

I'm looking for the part where you say: "I already ran Repair Permissions in Disk Utility."
[it's okay, now sounds like a perfectly appropriate time to give it the old college try. ]
