HELP! Access Denied on running Programs - AGAIN!

[Wild Bill]

Did I "Stump" everyone out there? No one replied to my
previous posting. Here it is again... When I try to run
Medal of Honor, I get "Access Denied" "Please login with
administrative privileges and try again". Well, I did
log in as "Administrator" and I get the same error
message. I also get this with Combat Flight Simulator 3,
IL-2 Sturmovik, Comanche 4, Chost Recon etc. But not
Dungeon Siege, Morrowind and others. XP must really
stink if no one can help... I'm in IT and I've been
supporting operating systems for over 20 years starting
with CP/M and good old DOS and I've never had such odd
issues as these... Again, any help would be
appreciated. These wroked before XP started hanging on
the AGP440.SYS load in which the only way I could recover
was by doing a System Recovery. I am sure the "Recovery"
has corrupted something somewhere... Way to go
Microsoft...

Sorry, it's XP Pro. I did check out MOH's web site and

they said to re-install the Game. I just can't beleive I
would have to do that for everything! Sounds like a
registry issue to me, you think?

NTFS or FAT32? Simple file sharing or security/permissions Tab?

If you're using the security tab I suspect you have something setup
incorrectly..
