    I reinstalled WinXp and when I try to play, it says I don't have permission. The exact message is Please login with administrator privileges and try again.

    I never had this problem before with anything The user page says that I'm Admin. So I made a new user, with admin as well, and the same thing happens -I then I did a reinstall and I still get the message Freakin Windows piece of $@#%&#....Oh, btw after I install and look in add/remove, the windows patchees/hotfixes icons are the same as MTW. I have seen this multiple times though, so I know it's not related -just another stupid windows issue.

    Any thoughts?

    Is there an Administrator User or is it just Admin.

    Can you check the User Management under
    My Computer > Right-Click Management

    I only see Manage if I right click my computer. But if I go to User Accounts under the Control Panel, there is Computer Administrator under my name. So I should have the permission.

    Is is XP Home or Professional.

    In XP Professional
    Under Manage you should see Local Users and Groups
    Under Groups you should see Administrators
    Under Administrators you should see you.

    If not you are not Administrators, you are not an administrator.

    Agency, I'm going to move this to the Apothecary for some of their special TLC. Even though you are a Junior Patron, you can respond to topics in the Apothecary so you can provide any further information you might be asked for.
