I AM administrator but XP doesn't recognize me as administrator
Date: Mon, 9 Feb 2004 11:36:07 -0800
After installing a game (from EA games) and trying to launch it, the computer comes to me with message that I have to login with administrator privileges.
However, I AM administrator (and the only user).
Already tried to make a new profile with administrator priv. and install it there: same message.
Making a new provile without admin. privilege: same message.
I looked on so many places (internet, friends, contacted EA games) for a solution but never found/got a sufficient solution.
Do I have to re-install XP?
Anyone???
thanx.
