"Access is denied. Please log on with administrator privileges and try again.

I am running windows 8 and until a few weeks ago, I could play and enjoy age of Mythology, but now, whenever I try to play, I get this message:

"Access is denied. Please log on with administrator privileges and try again.

I read a few other posts regarding this issue and to be honest, none of them helps me at all and I found the instructions to be very complicated.

I think that my problem started only after an update or other Windows, but I could be wrong.

I'm on a laptop and no other other person has an account on or use this computer - so I thought that I was the administrator.

I really hope that someone can help me with what I really want to play my game again.

Thanks in advance.

  • How to fix "access denied: Please log on with administrator privileges and try again" question

    SimCity 4 worked correctly on my computer for about four years without a single problem. However, a few days without changing anything in the program, it opens any longer. The disc is spinning inside my computer, but nothing shows up except the message attached as a file of the photo above. I tried running as administrator, restart my laptop several times, change security settings, running in Windows XP, the disk cleanup compatibility mode twice, uninstalling and reinstalling three times, once the resettlement in the "Program Files" instead of the "Program Files (x 86)". I'm at a loss as to what I should do next.

    I looked at the disc, and there is no visible scratches or marks. I am quite experienced with computers, including Windows 7, but I was still unable to find an independent solution.

    My laptop was purchased on December 26, 2011 and is an Acer Aspire with an Intel Core. It runs Windows 7 Home Edition.

    I think that my problems occurred because of a Windows Update. Note that I have not tried to use SimCity 4 since August 2015, as well, so it may have been several updates since then.

    Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    Yes, it's apparently one of the many games that monopoly$ oft broke with its DRM, blocking,.

    who introduced with Win10. You can check it in "opening" of the disc and looking for a file called

    SECDRV.sys.

    MS think these old DRM are a threat to security, and to this end, you are not allowed to risk the
    questionable potential threat imposed by them. You cannot disable the DRM blocking Win10 Big Brother.

    It is deplorable that legitimate buyers of these games have been one that has most suffered from some of
    These DRM, but now MS want to make them pay again.
    IMO - Blocking of the oldest game disk based DRM is nothing but a racket of extortion to make

    people to buy a download version that had the deleted DRM.

    -Win7/8/8.1 users are not immune to this monopoly$ oft of malware.
    Monopoly$ oft are also impose DRM blocking subversivly on Win7 users via the "security update."

    -KB3086255 & 2919355.

    -At least Win7 users can uninstall, or be aware of this update and not to install it.
    -There is also an option to disable blocking of DRM (but not Win10). See the article below-

    MS15-097: Description of update for the graphical component of Windows security: 8 September 2015

    -Win8/8.1 do not have this chance because they will not receive any future updates of security if they do not install this blocking of DRM
    malware. Extortion. Pure and simple.

    -Of course these DRM has never worked anyway, and using a noCD fix/hack has always been more manoeuvrable than

    go through some stuff around with the disc.

  • Suddenly, Firefox keeps logging me when I left and try again even if I have haevn can't change settings

    I have no problems with the browser until today. I'm on a Mac OSX 10.7.5 using Firefox 19.0.2.

    Yesterday, I used PrivacyScan as I do usually once a week and today I logged in all of my regular sites. Then I ran MacScan as I always do. Suddenly, every time I leave Firefox and reopen it, I lose all my connections to the sites.

    I have no "Passwords to Remember sites" checked because I use 1Password. In private life, I have 'accept cookies' and 'Accept third-party cookies' checked.

    I ran PrivacyScan and MacScan many times in the past without problem and I didn't modify parameters, then it is a real conundrum.

    Is there a file cookies.sqlite?

    This is the only file that really matters.

    You can try to copy the cookies.sqlite.bak and rename the file cookies.sqlite.

    Don't forget to delete all the other files in cookies.sqlite (shm and wal files are temp files used by SQLite and should not be restored).

    Hello

    This behavior can occur if the antivirus application blocking the app Store or changes due to some recent on the computer.

    I would suggest trying the following steps and check if it helps.

    Method 1:

    Make sure that your PC is up to date

    Make sure that updates are installed on your PC and that your antivirus program does not prevent the application from running. For more information about installing updates for your PC, see Windows Update: frequently asked questions.

    Method 2:

    Run 'Windows Apps Store' convenience store

    You must be logged in as an administrator in order to run the "Windows Store Apps" troubleshooter. This tool can automatically find and fix some issues with applications. It is available in English only, but will work in all languages. You can let automatically try to fix any problems found, or select what you want made repairs.

    http://download.Microsoft.com/download/F/2/4/F24D0C03-4181-4E5B-A23B-5C3A6B5974E3/apps.diagcab

    Method 3:

    I suggest you delete the Windows Store cache and check how it works.

    1. Press Windows + R logo
    2. Type wsreset.exe in the run window, and then press ENTER.

    Method 4:

    Define the Apps approved in third program Antivirus- If you have a third party AV program installed, check its settings to make sure that the app Store works is not changed to be approved. If the AV program has the app as unreliable, it will block and prevent opening the app.

    Let us know the status of the issue. If you need help, please after return. We will be happy to help you.

    I have two user accounts, now I forgot the password of an account with administrative privileges, how can I reset or remove this password

    I have two user accounts, now I forgot the password of an account with administrative privileges, how can I reset or remove this password

    There are a lot of options built into Windows to help you out of this situation:
    • Restart the computer with your Windows repair CD, then use system restore to set Windows in a few days (only works if you have recently changed the password).
    • Log in as administrator mode without failure, then reset the password for your existing account (the password is usually empty).
    • Insert your flash drive USB with the password key file (only works if you have taken the time to create such a key file).
    • Use the password indicator (works only if you have created a hint and if it's good enough to allow you to guess the password)
    • Check your paper files (works only if you threw down the password somewhere)
    After solving this problem, plan in advance and create, test and document an alternative admin account, same as you have a spare House key.
