I have a rather.. strange problem.
I'm using Vista on this computer and it seems that when i try to run the game it says "You need administrative privileges to run this software" even though I am the admin on this system. Infact it's the only account on the computer.

Anyone know what it could be?

Do you have UAC turned on? If so, I believe you have to go into the app's properties and allow it to run as administrator - otherwise it won't get those privelidges.

As an alternative, you can turn off UAC altogether - its balls if you ask me

Going into properties and setting it to run as admin seems to have done the trick. Thanks a lot :v
