Well, first: Thank you, Nicks&Becks for an interesting and creative solution to the problem.

I carried out your instructions to the letter, and sure enough: It worked!...

...as long as I was logged in as a Local Admin.

When I logged out and logged back in as myself (a Domain Admin), the same error message popped right back up, as if I'd done nothing at all to fix the issue.

In your post, you noted the importance of having "correct permissions". That got me curious about the permissions available to the Domain Admin Group. I went back to the Computer Management dialog, just to assure myself of what I already suspected; namely, that..."Administrators have complete and unrestricted access to the computer/domain."

So where does all this leave me? Reader 9 works perfectly when I login as a Local Admin, and not at all when I'm a Domain Admin.

Hmmm...

Let's see: Where's that little bottle of Scotch that I keep in my desk drawer? Maybe that will help to clarify things.
