Software / After installation says I must be the administrator...I am!

« on: September 17, 2008, 11:39:26 PM »

I have tried installing a couple of games that I found onto my laptop and they install fine, then when I try to open them after it says Installation Complete...says Error, must be installed by the administrator...or something along those lines. I am the administrator on the computer and the only user for that matter. Does this just means that the games aren't going to work or is there something else I can try? Figured I would post on here before I gave up. Thanks in advance.

Tech Clinic / Editing a game file

Thanks for the response http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'\' />

I have tried that and when I try to save the new file a message pops up that says    This file is set to read-only    Try again with a different file name

I have tried doing a new file name, and then deleting the old one but the old one won't delete. I figured I am either screwed or just being real dumb.

Tech Clinic / Editing a game file

« on: September 17, 2008, 02:24:18 AM »

Hey, new here and had a quick question. I am trying to edit a game file for a cheat http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'\' /> . I am told to create a backup copy and then use a text editor to edit the "standard.sam" file in the "levels" sub-directory inside the game directory. May be a novice question but I tried what I thought would work and I am having problems. Help! Can't find help anywhere so figured I would post. Thanks a lot in advance
