Hi Dark,
I'm sorry to say that is a pretty jaded position for someone who's only
experience is using Windows XP and earlier. Other operating systems like
Mac OS and Linux have a completely different approach to multi-user
accounts than does Windows. I really wish you would not judge every
operatin
Hi Shaun,
Actually, most modrn Linux operating systems don't have or use a root
account. Instead they use an admin tool called sudo which allows a user
to execute admin commands using a standard account. For example, to
install MOTA on Ubuntu Linux you would run the setup like
sudo dpkg -i mota
This is why I never read his Emails. Bad advice like this infuriates me.

unfortunately linux does not have uac.

hmmm
well truth be told its what I do when I have no idea how to fix something.
I had it lucky though for a while was easy to do and I have backups of
everything.
Since I have not heard an issue where sertain files are not accepted on other
drives, of a user's system, etc then there are 2 avenue

Hi Dark,
True, but on Windows Vista and later you need to run the setup file with
admin rights or it will give you an installation error. I suspect if
Shirley is using Vista or Windows 7 it is this error she is getting, and
in that case it is a simple matter of running the install as
administrator
Hi Dark,
Agreed. Shaun's comment to reformat is way out of line. It appears to
me Shirley's problems are just that she isn't familiar with the ins and
outs of her computer system and there probably isn't anything seriously
wrong with her computer. Instead of assuming there is something

Hi all
I totally agree, I'd be willing to give whatever assistance I possibly
could in the endeavour of gaming.

Hello Shirley,
When you say "my hard drive won't accept compressed files only
applications" what does that mean exactly? I think rather than assuming
this or that won't work on your computer the best thing to do is ask
someone on how to solve problems like this as you seam to be having a

well winzip from www.winzip.com is a good program.
www.izarc.org is good for free things.
the other extracters can be run normally.
though you may have to run as admin or something.

Sean, out of interest why do you suggest reformatting as the answer to any
computer related tech support question?
Appologies for seeming abrupt, but it just seems someone mentions some
slight problem, which might be as much a case of a user not yet knowing

Hello,
Please do not suggest reformatting until we have much more information.
Reformatting is a very drastic step, and someone who does not know what
they are doing can end up with a very expensive paperweight and lose all
of their data.

I suggest you reformat and the problem will go away.
Actually why only run standard programs and not compressed.
