My sister wants me to spare her pc from her 6 year old son, George, who's well into FS2002 & all things Concorde related! Grin

But, on installing Fs2K2, I find it won't run from his (Georges) restricted user account, would you trust a 6 year old with your business Account? , my question is , can anybody tell me how (if) I can get round this issue.

FS2K2 simply tells me to run the program from the Administrators account, which is not an option. Roll Eyes

Thanks in advance.

Specs,

Celeron 1.7 Sct 478
Jetway Via Chipset Board
512MB PC2100 DDR
80GB IDE HD
GeForce 4 MX 440 64MB - Yes, my old one! Grin

Runs FS2K2 a treat! 8)

I don't know how good the little man is with computers but you could try removing al the important shortcuts from the admin account and make a separate account for them, so your son could safely use the admin account.
