I have 4 users on my XP home computer - 2 adults with full rights and 2 kids
with limited accounts.
2 games the kids want to play give the same error
"C:\Docume~1\Adrienne\Locals~1\Temp\. A temporary file needed for
initialisation could not be created or written to. Make sure the directory
path exists ...."
Both run OK if I switch to full rights. Neither program stores any file or
data in the location specified as far as I can see after I close the
program. Both games are old (Boxworld & Pacman) and probably written for
16bit windows.
Can I get round this problem? I do not want to give full rights to the kids
and I tried changing the environment variables for Temp & Tmp to another
directory (c:\temp) in case it was a problem to do with access right to the
Local Settings folder but that did not help. Any other ideas?
