XP Game issues

[lastrezort]

Is this normal???

I installed 2 games on an XP system yesterday. I installed both of the games with administrative rights. The user who plays the game is a client on that computer (non administrative rights). The game just won't work on the system if I'm not administrator... If I'm administrator it works fine... Why???:confused:

Is it shared?

Install the program in the person's profile with the RUN AS command:

If this is XP Pro on NTFS, right-click the program executable and go to properties. In Security options, give the person privileges.

Interesting article:

Apparently, if you install the program to someplace other that C:\Program Files, it will work. Make a Games folder on the root of C: and install all programs that you want to share to that folder.
