Access Denied

Anonymous

I am trying to play video games that I have played a few months ago, such as Halo and Medal of Honor: Allied Assault. Now I get "Access Denied: Please login with administrative privileges and try again". Is there a way to play these games again?

I never had to have administrative privileges in the past and all of my other games seem to start and run just fine.

Please help!

Right-click the game's icon and choose "run as administrator".

I have the same problem with two games of Command and Conquer. Generals and Tiberium wars I did get Tiberium wars to work by putting the game in my Games but Generals still will not work they both stop working when i did the last 170 updates due too factory restart So i know for a fact it is one or more of the updates.

I have tried the run as administrator and it only goes to a popup of allow or not and i allow and it disappears and nothing So i'm not to much help matter of fact what do i do next.
