On 64-bit Win7, I uninstalled Audacity, checked that the .aup 
association was gone, created a "Standard" user, logged in as that user 
and reinstalled.

A dialog popped up that asked if I was sure I wanted to install and to 
enter an administrators password.  After entering the password, Audacity 
installed and started just fine.  I created a project, saved it, exited 
Audacity, and double clicked the project.  Audacity started just fine.

I'll try again with 32-bit shortly.
