Here is the problem. When you close the browser it goes through some sort of
cleanup process. When you are logged on to a limited user account you cannot
launch the browser. Every time you try to you get a message that a previous
installation has not finished. And if you try to click on the icon again you
get the same message. When you go to the Task Manager you see a process
running called XPICleanup. Every time you get the error message from trying
to launch the program their would be that many XPICleanup processes running.

e.g. you try to launch the program 3 times it would appear 3 times on the
process list. Now this is very annoying especially when you have other
family members that do not have Admin rights to use the Browser. If you log
onto an account that has administrator rights, then switch users and go back
to the limited user it would then launch. However if you were to close the
browser you would end up in the same loop of endless errors on trying to
re-launch the Browser.

Any assistance would be appreciated. 

It seems you are running a version of Windoze.

Just go to
http://www.de.debian.org/distrib/
and get one of the installation media and start your installation of debian.

The simplest way would be to select 'workstation' from the 'software selection' prompt.

Once you got Debian/GNU Linux up and running, your problem will be gone ;-)

Remember: linux is designed in a way that admin (root) and user rights are strictly seperated. There are no applications that require _administrative rights_ in order to do some _user_ tasks (including starting/stopping applications, load/save configuration data etc.).

Hope this helps, good luck on your installation!
