    Hey, i just got a new pc which had windows vista home premium installed, and i wanted to install one of my games to see how my new PC performs.

    I went to install one of my old games 'Lord of the rings: battle for middle earth two' and evrything went fine and game works and runs like normal.

    However when i try to play online, it requires me to download a patch, and when i try to download the patch i get an error telling me i need administrator uses.

    I then logged on the the administrator account and downloaded the patches fine and i am able to play the game online.

    The problem occurs now that i am only able to play on the administrator account, and not my own account which is labeled as 'admin'

    On my normal accout i am asked to download the patch again, which i cannot do because i need to be on the admin account, so i am kinda stuck on how to play the game on my normal account.

    does anyone know how to fix this?

    Log in as non-admin, right click app/game, and choose "Run as Administrator.
