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.

"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.

I use creative cloud in order to download the trial of Photoshop on my pc but this error:-Instillation failed. Not enough disk space. Please free up space on C and try again (-30)
I entered the settings of cloud and told to download for my largest drive E (which it fine for lightroom) but it only downloads on drive C (small disk almost full) for Photoshop. I missed something or is this a bug?
Thanks in advance
Shared resources and temporary files will be stored on your primary drive. If a lack of disk space prevents installation then make sure you have enough space on the main drive for temporary files and installation files extracted to be placed.

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). -
See above. Can anyone help?
Looks like you don't have enough memory. See min-requirements below.

I'm trying to install Microsoft FreeLancer on Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium edition (according to WinVer: Version 6.1, build 6701, Service Pack 1).
After inserting the DVD in the drive and run "Setup.exe", I am invited by the UAC to elevate permissions - who I am agreement - then the following error message appears: "Setup was unable to find (or could not read) the language specific setup resource dll, unable to continue." If please restart and try again. »
The only valid technote, I found the issue was http://support.microsoft.com/kb/258496. The below is the list of the things that I tried after reading this technote - but no avail.
- Of course, I tried to restart.
- I checked the DVD is in good condition, even with regard to the attempts to install from the disc to a friend and even went up to compare the MD5 of all files on two DVDs, the checksums match.
- I tried using the compatibility mode for XP, although according to the report of another user on the statements of the Windows Compatibility Center that this should not be necessary.
- I ran a full "chkdsk" (i.e. one scheduled for after a reboot, rebooted) and chkdsk reported no error.
- I deleted all files "di - use ' %TEMP%, immediately after the restart and before you run setup.exe.
- I've looked at this the EMET tool had an exemption for 'setup.exe' and my tool anti-virus was disabled before installation.
Everything I try seems to have no effect on the resolution of this problem.
Can anyone suggest any possible causes of--and, ideally, solutions to-this issue?
Kind regards
Alex.

I managed to work around this problem by using the following workaround solution:
I installed Freelancer CD on a Windows XP virtual machine running in VMWare Workstation. I then moved the installation directory (C:\Program Files\FreeLancer) off the coast of the virtual machine on my Windows 7 computer in (C:\Program Files (x 86) \FreeLancer).
The game seems to work fine as long as it is run with administrative privileges (that is, the freelancer.exe running). Without administrator rights, the games is never recorded. With them, they are registered under "C:\Program Files (x 86) \FreeLancer\EXE\Accts\SinglePlayer" successfully.

I have no sound when playing my clips by adobe first 12 elements. How to fix this? I checked all the audio levels and there is no mute etc. I've updated to 12.1, but still no sound in clips. Not even on the old files that are used to work.
Bfun
What operating system is running your first items 12/12.1? Can we assume that this audio reads OK
on the same computer when you use a computer independent of Premiere Elements drive?
What are the properties of these clips that have worked before, but don't know regarding sound
For now, I will assume that you are working on Windows 7, 8 or 8.1 64bits.
Have you checked the settings change preferences/Menu/Audio ASIO hardware? You have all 3rd party audio devices integrated in your IT environment?
Please delete the Adobe Premiere elements Prefs file and, if it does not, then all 12.0 folder in which the Adobe Premiere elements Prefs file exists. Is the path to 64-bit Windows 7, 8 or 8.1
Local disk C
Users
Owner
AppData
Roaming
Adobe
First Elements
12.0
and in the 12.0 folder, is the file Adobe Premiere elements Prefs that you delete. If this does not work, then delete all 12.0 the folder in which the Adobe Premiere elements Prefs file exists. Make sure that you work with the Option "Show hidden files, folders and drives" of the current folder so that you can see the full quoted path.
You have the installation files or the installation disc with the serial number purchased in case we need to use to uninstall/reinstall?
