Battlefield 1942 and Vietnam trouble

Everytime I try to open the .exe files I get an error message saying "Please log in with adminstrator privileges." It doesn't look like a standard Windows error message. Any ideas? I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling but nothing seems to help. I'm on a computer administrator account too so I have no idea what the problem is. Thanks.

    What version of windows are you using? XP or 2000? Try using another administrator account or set up a new one and then trying to launch the game.

    I use XP and I have already tried setting up new user accounts and on those I still get the error message.

    FWIW I checked my icon properties. I don't know if this is an issue but have a look-->

    PS BTW "cheats" is only to get rid of the intro movie, so no-one freak out... :eek2:

    Ok that helped, I made a little progress by clicking on that box but now I'm prompted with a new box that says that it 'can't create a file when that file already exists' in the temp directory. This is so bizarre.

    you can get rid of the intro movie by moving or renaming the movie file.....

    Cool. Never thought of that.

    Cam- Try emptying your temp folder...But I can't find a temp folder in my BF1942 file, so I am not sure which temp folder?? then, if that doesn't work-->un-re-installing is a major pain in the heinie, but sometimes short-term pain is long--term fragging online. If I can't fix a gaming issue in the time it takes to ponder a Jack Handey Deep Thought, out comes the install disk.
