Re: SE4 on XP Home with Limited Account
Never had the pleasure [sic] of XP home, but check to see if you have the option of adding the account to the power user group. Or, you could build a shortcut to a script that would use the runas argument to launch the game.

Re: SE4 on XP Home with Limited Account
Thanks, I'll give those suggestions a try tomorrow... grr, tried to upgrade the RAM on my family's computer today, too, but the manual says it only takes up to 128 MB chips and I bought a 256... stupid eMachines... or should I blame Micro Center, since their Online Memory Configurator told me it would work with a 256?

I'm Using an eMachine as well, It's about 2 years old and so far has 384mb RAM. It's been quite reliable. The only disadvantage is that some top spec games I'd like won't run on it. But hey, I'm not complaining, I got this Free!
Never Overestimate the Staff at your local PC SuperStore. "This Display PC Won't reformat..." "We'll have it....muhahahaha. Oh it seems to be an ID10T error..."

Re: SE4 on XP Home with Limited Account
I think you've spelled the solution yourself.
Move it out from Program Files to a different directory and it should be solved.
