Error 83 with Quark

I am having problems opening quarkxpress. I haven't used it in a while and now when I try and open the program it doesn't open at all, and says "you cannot run QuarkXPress on a locked volume. [83]"
Anyone know why it would be locked? I'm the administrator.

quark 6.0, Mac OS X (10.3.9)

This from Quark's web site on the issue:

Mac OS X only: If a user other than the one who activated QuarkXPress logs on and attempts to launch the application, the error message “QuarkXPress 6.0 cannot be run from a locked volume” displays. To avoid this problem, set the QuarkXPress permissions (File > Get Info > Ownership > Permissions) to share with other users after you install it.
