Renan - that worked!!! I don't know how you thought to try that option - 
clever! Thanks so much for sharing the workaround.

Best,
Jessie

My guess is that the ICT people installed the single user version, which is 
intended for installing without administrator rights, for system wide use on 
there personal directory. That won´t work (unless the administrator grants 
rights etc). You can check it by finding out where PSPPIRE.exe is installed. In 
¨c:\program files¨ which would be ok or c:\users which would be wrong.

If this is the case, let the ICT people uninstall the single user PSPP version 
and install the recommended version.

Have fun
