Priveleges to play???

JHuschke · 05-20-08, 05:14 PM

Right now I do not have any GWX installed, just regular SH3. When I click on the SH3 icon a popup comes up and says "You need Administrator Priveleges to install."...but it is already installed. I am using Windows Vista for the first time...so any tips will be appreciated!

I dont have vista but I think you need to have it in any other folder
than program files to work, its a common problem try a forum search
for vista that will likely turn it up fastest.

Maybe that will help.

try right clicking on the icon and from the list that comes up select "Run as Administrator".

if that isnt there you need to go into your user settings and make your account the admin account.

Friends don't let friends use Vista.

Good luck with it! Gord96 is probably right here

Is there a reason you aint using GWX?

Playing SH3 without GWX is like having sex without any Tabasco sauce!

oops did I type that or was I just thinking that?

This computer is brand new, just bought, so my account is the administrator account and the only account on this computer...so I guess I'll just make another folder out of program files.
