CD-ROM Drive Error ???

[Bruce Garlock]

I am the administrator and my son Allan is a limited user on my XPpro
computer. I recently installed a game on the computer that he purchased and
he would like to play it. The game is Warcraft 3 and it contains a
secondary program called World Editor.

Each time he tries to play the game he receives an error message as follows:

CD-ROM Drive Error

You need administrative rights on this PC to run Warcraft 3 (or World
Editor) Please check your settings, then click on 'Retry'.

I have alread tried to go to the 'Sharing and Security' and dragging the
icons to the Shared Documents folder. The folder containing his files is
called "Warcraft 3" and it is already located as a subfolder as follows:
C:\\Documents&Settings\All Users\Documents\Warcraft 3.

I can't figure this out.

Any ideas please?

Sorry, but some games can only be run with full rights because of the way
they use DirectX (IIRC - I'm a little hazy). You might wish to repost this
in the correct group (microsoft.public.windowsxp.games). How old is your
son? Surely you can trust him to run the game under your user?

Do you not understand simple English? Your son has a limited account, and
the game requires an account with full administrative privileges. If this
is beyond your realm of understanding, perhaps you should stick to a
gameboy.

Actually, that isn't true. I have limited accounts on my computer, as well
as Warcraft III, all you need to do is give the user full write access to
the Warcraft III folder.
