My kids want to play a web based game (an MMORPG)but once installed it asks for an administrator password to be run. Does any body know how to give permission to non-administrator users so they can play the game?
Your help is most appreciated since my kids are about to drive me crazy.

Doing so will basically elliminate all of the safety precautions built into Vista. You're giving the kids free run of the computer to install, uninstall and change things at will.

Wouldn't it be better to set the one program to run with correct permissions (ie: run as...)? I don't have a Vista machine handy to look at right now to give you instructions on how to do it.

...disabling VUAC is not an option. I have tryed "run as..." but that would require that they know the admin password, which would be the same as desabling VUAC. If I could get the game to show up in the parental control games list I'd be able to give permission to run it, but I haven't been able to do so. Any ideas?

Way back when when such a thing came up it noted to you and others that this "COPY" is a boot-legged copy or a stolen file copy. If honestly goptten simply call THEM, the owners and they will usually give you a authroty lagg.
