Stamps.com permission problem

Recently I changed the Username on my computer and now Stamps.com will
not run unless I use "Run As" and select the Administrator account.
The problem seems to be in the Registry and related to permissions.
An uninstall/reinstall does not fix the problem.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
 
Did you delete the cookies for it? Your user info for the site is stored in them.

I did not delete the cookies since that is not relevant. Stamps.com
is actually a Client application running on my computer that connects
to the Stamps.com service. It is used for printing postage.

Probably best to consult with the people who provided you this program.
They've probably ran up against this issue with their software.
