491889 2006-10-16 18:28:00 WinXP Home. I am sole user with admin account. Trying to install a game, installation fails with the message "C:|Documents and Settings\All Users|Documents, Access is Denied."

When I go to the All Users folder there is no Documents folder there. If I try to create one and name it Documents, I am told a folder of that name already exists.
?

491890 2006-10-16 21:34:00 what is the name of the game? gibler (49)
491891 2006-10-16 22:33:00 Open My Computer Click on the Tools menu at the top of the window then select Folder Options then View, make sure that the Show Hidden Files And Folders option is selected. This should allow the game (and you) to see the All Users\Documents folder. Hope this helps, Cheers. grahamem (4164)
