Admin problem

I have a problem with a new game of mine, FFXI. it says that i don't have administrator rights when i try to open it. i am 100% sure that i have selected the admin option for my user, but it still doesn't work. i have also tried to log in on to the original user, but it doesn't work there either. please help me...

 

nice

thanks, I am pretty sure that it was the solution to my problem. Thanks again. I will get right on it, first thing in the morning. Yes!!!

 

still having a problem here..

It doesn't work after trying the
"How to Take Ownership of a File or Folder in Windows XP" link either. The problem is more about the administrator rights itself i think... it's not the file that is the problem. I think that the PC is not responding as it should to the administrator rights and limits...

 

administrator problem here

I have done that. i am a houndred percent sure of that. it has to be something else...

 

it is an online game, but the problem doesn't have anything to do with that... well it is a pity you can't help me... but life goes on ;o)

 

Did you check with tech support for the game as PeteC suggested? There may be a known (well, to them at least) issue and they have a fix or workaround.

Have you tried using 'runas' and starting the game with the computer admin account? Just right-click the shortcut and you should see "Run As" among your options.
