can't play games (please login with administrator privileges)

[curt]

I cannot play any newer games on my computer? I have xp
home edition installed. When I try to play 007 nightfire
it says "please login with administrator privileges".
There's only one account and it says its administrator
account. I 've tryed creating other aministrator accounts
but still get the message. I was told to bootup in safe
mode as it will be in administrator mode but the game
still did not work either did nhl 2003. Please help me
figure this one out

Curt, you shouldn't use "the" Administrator account except as an emergency
avenue to repair things. That's your fallback position if something goes
sour on the system. You need to create another user account, one which has
Admin permissions. Look in Help and Support about creating user accounts,
and also take a look at this information:
