XP Pro Administrator problems and run a program unless I'm an administrator

P

PleaseHelp

I just bought a game and I installed it. Then I go to run
it and I get this error.

Unable to start the (name of game). Please ensure that
you are logged into your computer under an account with
administrator rights.

I'm logged in as that administrator right now...

I started off on my user name but it didn't work, so I
deleted the game from my computer and cleaned out windows
temp files.

I then logged of and back on as the Administrator and
reinstalled the game. I still get the same error and I
have no idea what is going on because I am on the
administrator account.

Any ideas?

Goto the Game Company's website and look up FQAs and such
there. Maybe you will have better luck.

The thing is it's not just with games. It lets me install
files but it doesn't let me run most things. I also tryed
to run a firewall program I downloaded but I get the same
error. Someone said to me that my user accounts including
ADMIN where damaged and the only way to fix it is to
reinstall my OS. Anyway, thank you for your help. =)
