Set normal account to play games...

Hi, My windows vista has one user account and one admin account, i've
reccently installed the game 'audition' which is known as an 'unidentified
program from an unidentified publisher' to play in both accounts but this
game is always block or rather requires a permission to 'allow' the program
to be run or requests for the adminstrators permission to run the program,
and there is a popup window telling me that i change to control settings
about allowing the game to run without prompting anymore in the future at
'user account controls' but i just can't seem to find the place to chnage the
settings, can anyone please help me with this problem? thanks

Re: Set normal account to play games...

You can go to Start > Accessories > Run and press enter. Type 'MSCONFIG'
(without quotes). Click on the Tools tab, then scroll down where it says
"Disable UAC" select that, then click the 'Lauch' button. Reboot, and UAC is
now off.

And to get rid of the message Vista gives you reminding you that you turned
it off, you can go to the control panel, under Security Center. On the left,
there is a place to click that says "Change the way Security Center alerts
me".

Re: Set normal account to play games...

Thanks for the solution and it works, but soon, another problem came out, its
like walls and walls of protection are on the game named 'Auditon' that i'm
about to play on the 'non-adminstrator account', after i have done what you
have suggested and it went throught successfully, another pop-up window with
the heading 'Audition'(which is the name of my game), says that "it demands
authority from the admin", how could i really solve this problem?I did not
use my adminstrator account to block any running of programs and though i had
on the parental control on my non-admin account but i had allowed all
programs to be used already please help me with this problem, thanks.

You can right click on the program to start and select "Run as
Administrator". In Vista, even the administrator account needs special
privledges.
