Can`t start PR under vista

Shodokan · 2008-03-21, 16:56

Hi, everytime when i start PR (vista 32, PR 0.75) i get:

"faild: You must run this executable as an Administrator due to a bug in windows. See Security Update MS00-024 Breaks SHGetFolderPath in Shfolder.dll Zugriff verweigert"

i already started as an administrator (under properties); BF 2 works without a problem; when i logged in as an administrator it works, but then i have other problems (cd key, lost all settings).

Have anybody an idea?

Do you have 'Run as Administrator' ticked also on pr.exe located in ...\Battlefield 2\mods\pr\ ?

Shodokan · 2008-03-21, 19:02

yes, pr.exe is ticked as "run as administrator", also bf2.exe

Hi, thanks for the answers.... i installed several hot fixes (20-30) but it still doesn´t work. Is anybody here who knows which kind of hot fix solve the problem?

Maybe an other way is to get all (all!!) admin rights for a "normal" admin user...?
