Weird problem

[Lethal Carnivine]

I don't know if any of you experienced this problem, but I'd rather ask. When you were installing a game on the computer, did you ever get some weird message about elevation. If you have and you fixed it, can you please tell me?

What OS system do you have? I'm thinking whatever you're using isn't allowing installation because you need to give the install administrator privileges.

Compaq Presario F500

Er, I mean what type of software do you use. Since it is on a Compaq I'm assuming you're using Windows. Is it Windows Vista, XP, 2000, etc?

 

[Lethal Carnivine]

Windows Vista. Sorry, didn't exactly understand what you meant.

 

[Rayne]

Vista runs a bit different with its multiple restrictions. I'm not too familiar with Vista so I went ahead and dug up some info on your problem and how to fix it.

There were two solutions they offered, one being the traditional method which is to run the installation under admin.

Right Click Application.
-Select Run As..
-Select Admin option.

Or the other method which was to shut down the UAC (User Account Control) ending the block.
According to one user you just
go to Control panel
-click into user accounts
-click on 'turn user account control on or off'
-select off

I hope that works for you.

It works now. Thanks a lot, and I guess someone can close this.
