The subject is wandering  :offtopic:.

also  :surrender: to what? You sitting their feeling complacent on correcting my mistakes?
Because you posted 400+ times, You made the point the first time, your words are becoming redundant.  It's enough, stop looking at what I am posting and actually go play the game.

This game a wit is lame, seeing as my opponent is only stating the obvious.

Perhaps you are right, but there is slight difference in it all.

Hmm, then why didnt you edit your first post with this information?  Exactly if you quote the rules, follow them as well.  No one likes a hypocrite.

Why? Everyone else seems to want to flood my thread, I thought I might jump in.

I read this post a couple times trying to follow the logic and I must be missing something because I am still very confused.

But, I would like to express my own thoughts on a few points:

Restart the computer and wait for the blue loading bar across the screen
When you see the loading bar, hit the button to shut down your computer.(This will take about 5-7 seconds)
Turn the computer back on and let the computer load. 
There will be a message, (Windows was unable to start properly....blah blah blah)

No!  No!  No!!!  Sometimes Windows gets corrupted or for some reason is not able to load or shut down properly, but it is never a good idea to forcibly power off a normally fine running installation of Windows ... especially during boot-up or shut down.  This can cause problems that were not present before.  If you absolutely need to boot in Safe Mode, simply press F8 the instant you see the 'Starting Windows' message (the white text on black screen which appears before the boot splash screen.  This will give you the same menu and allow you to choose Safe Mode.  But, safe mode is normally only needed if Windows will not boot normally, shut down normally, or has other issues anyway.

Select Safe Mode, from here windows load the user desktop Administrator, select it.(if there is a password on it Jump the BIOS, there is a chip on your mother board, like two squares next to each other, take the chip and move it to the other square, then restart the process)

I do not see the connection between the Administrator password for Windows and the BIOS at all.  Besides the fact that this advice will likely not help, motherboards vary greatly in design.  I can only hope that you are referring to a jumper and not suggesting that someone remove a chip and try to put it in another socket.  Unless you are absolutely sure what you are doing, do not even think about touching your motherboard.  Otherwise, you are risking permanent damage to your hardware.  And unless you are a computer technician, don't even think about opening up a laptop.  ;D  Even many PC techs will not do that, preferring instead to send a laptop back to it's manufacturer for service.

I know that Windows XP does like to hide the Administrator account on it's login screen tho (unless you are in Safe Mode).  I have more experience with Windows 2000 than I do XP and am not sure of how to login as Administrator otherwise.  Perhaps someone with more XP experience has a suggestion.


Ummm, I only needed to read the first sentance. Of the second part.

When you said no no no no!!!

It isnt good to force your comp to shut down, right.
But restart it properly and force shut it down while windows is loading, thats an easy way to bring up safe mode to run comp as an Admin

You should have really thought it over before you replied.  No offence.

*edit*

On to the second person,

You're right I was just trying to sound smart with jumping the BIOS

But you basically made an attempt to say something differen than what I did.
Thanks for trying.

Oh and I know I seen the words,
"Only administrative users will be seen in safe mode to change anything"
You yourself making the user Administrator password protected, later on you can run programs as the admin, which would basically make you an admin, except for removing hardware or programs.

Also, this kinda isnt about owning or not owning the computer.

My mom makes my user limited account, I have figured out the path, with no help to get around it.

And yes, I am no freakin tech prodigy, but I try, and learn.

*edit*

Unless the user has admin rites the only way to get admin is safe mode, But if the user does not have admin rights there is usually a VERY valid reason for it... Would you give root access to the trainee technician or just basic SUDO access???

any smart PC tech would install that account with a password on it and NOT give that to the customer so that
they can fix the PC when the original "user" account (Who has admin rights by default) in-evitably stuffs it all up...

that said if you don't have admin rights ask the admin for the game to be installed / the problem to be fixed etc... they are the one in-charge of fixing the computer after all...

Correct, but if someone already had administrative rights, then what serves the purpose of taking these actions?

A lot of the problems I see posted on here looks like it is do to the user is not a computer administrator to their computer.  If you are unable to download, login properly (Error message/porblem with .dll files) installation (aside from people running the updater which is not recomended)

This is probably an access denied code, ie you are not an administrator so you cannot install this properly.
If you are unable to gain admin privliages/ask your parents/dunno how/wife owns you etc.. and you run on Windows XP the answer is simple.

Restart the computer and wait for the blue loading bar across the screen
When you see the loading bar, hit the button to shut down your computer.(This will take about 5-7 seconds)
Turn the computer back on and let the computer load. 
There will be a message, (Windows was unable to start properly....blah blah blah)
Select Safe Mode, from here windows load the user desktop Administrator, select it.(if there is a password on it Jump the BIOS, there is a chip on your mother board, like two squares next to each other, take the chip and move it to the other square, then restart the process)
If there is no password on the account Administrator, log in to this desktop and add a password.
Restart your computer log onto your desktop, right click the browser you use and run as. 
Here it will ask you to chose how to run the program.  Click the second bubble and enter the password you have place on the Administator account.  Then re download and you will be just fine.
