thats proberly because saving the game requires a data write to the c:\program files area. XP is very protective of this directory and others as well as the registry. Only administrators are allowed to write and make changes to these areas. A very good reason to partion your H/D and install games to another partion or if you know how allow users who belong to a group, group permissions on that folder (be careful, if you dont know how to do it, I have known the admin of the machine to remove his permissions here, opps doesnt cover that one im afraid, remendy reinstall) |
