Windows 7 - Account Renders XWiki Inoperable

[Orion]

I recently transitioned not only from MediaWiki to XWiki, but an older computer running Windows Vista (Ultimate x64) to my present PC, operating on Windows 7 (Ultimate x64). The reasons for the change and system specs should, I believe, be irrelevant in this case for the following reasons:
* I was able to install XWiki for All Users without a hitch
* XWiki runs perfectly while logged into the Administrator (aka, the hidden "Super Administrator") account
Therein, however, is the problem: XWiki runs only in the Administrator account. The MS-DOS Prompt reads as such while in the Admin-account...

To the best of my knowledge, this is clearly an issue of account permissions, however, given that my knowledge of Java is (at best) cursory, I am appealing to anyone who can lend a hand. I'm quite willing to supply any other information that is dubbed necessary.
NOTE: The same results are obtained whether UAC is on or off. The same also applies after having switched the program ownership permission to my personal account.

This means that the user which has started the JVM doesn't have write  
access to the location where the xwiki.log file is saved. You need to  
give the permission. You can also configure the location of the xwiki  
log file if you want (by default it's located in the directory where  
the JVM is started).

Thanks

Thank you, Vincent, for the both prompt and insightful response. I learned a little more today in addition to, hopefully, resolving my issue. I'll post back if I run into any further trouble and (again, hopefully) will garner a further response.
Should that prove unnecessary, thanks again, I appreciate it!
