Vista - Need help!!

08-25-2007

Bought game and when I went to install it a message pops up that says " error
accessing the system registry" then says "unexpected error quitting". I have
windows vista. How can I get around this and get the game to run.

Hello,

what I'd do is: Right-click the application and click "Run as
administrator".
Does that help?

Greetings,
P. Di Stolfo

suggestions?

Did you right click the setup.exe file on the cd and try to select
administrator mode? That's what you have to do to get admin mode.
