271744 2004-09-13 03:00:00 im quite interested in this thread as well, my brothers got a account on my xp machine, they play the usually games and what not but if there account is on limited they cant save there games like MOHAA,AOE but when its on administrative it works fine ?:| Patrick 2003 (277)
271745 2004-09-13 03:59:00 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) beama (111)
