Computer Administration Problem
 

Unfortunately I don't know the specifics of this particular game, so I
recommend a two-part strategy, assuming that the game *does* work on XP
and doesn't require any special compatibility mode:

1) try installing the game for each account that will use it. This will
permit the installer to put the appropriate things into each user
profile.

2) if you can get the game to work for a Computer Administrator account,
but not a limited account, then follow the advice in my canned response
below ...


If your game or application works with admin accounts, but not with
limited accounts, you can fix it to allow limited users to access the
program files folder with "change" capability rather than "read" which
is the default.

C:\cacls "Program Files\appfolder" /e /t /p users:c

where "appfolder" is the folder where the application is installed.

If you wish to undo these changes, then run

C:\cacls "Program Files\appfolder" /e /t /p users:r

If you still have a problem with running the program or saving settings
on limited accounts, you may need to change permissions on the registry
keys. Run regedit.exe and go to HKLM\Software\vendor\app, where
"vendor\app" is the key that the software vendor used for your specific
program. Change the permissions on this key to allow Users full control.
