Okay...I give.

Somehow, my wife's e-mail address and account have infested my App Store (Mac OS X 10.6.8).

* I'm running App Store under my user account on the computer.
* It shows me as logged in.
* I have confirmed and re-updated my settings on the Apple ID website and through the application.
* I can log into my App Store account.
* I can log into the iTunes Store using the same information.
* The "Updates" icon shows (8) and, when clicked, lists 8 updates for my wife's account.
* Apps that I want to install on my computer show as "Installed" when I haven't installed them.
* If I choose an app to purchase, a dialog comes down wanting me to log in and shows her e-mail address.
* Replacing it with mine would generate an Unknown Error #4.
* Apple says to make another Apple ID. That would be my third, thanks to an iTunes screwup they can't/won't fix.
* I do not want 1/2 my music in one ID, 1/2 in another, and my Apps in a third. No. No. No.
* No.
* Spotlight sucks at finding "App Store" or "Appstore", finding only the application.
* I deleted the preferences from ~/Library/Preferences, and AppStore from ~/Library/ApplicationSupport.
* I deleted the application.
* I downloaded the 10.6.6 updater.
* It would not run. (Duh, I'm at 10.6.8.)
* I used Pacifist to install the App Store.
* I have restarted somewhere in here.
* I run the App Store. It still lists all of my wife's updates.
* I still cannot download anything she already has through my account.
* I am able to download the FaceTime update.
* It shows as the only thing in my Purchases.
* I quit and re-ran the App Store.
* It STILL shows her updates.

I want to remove my wife's account from my App Store.

Help.
