Default Re: Problems installing game

Hi Kunal,

Please ensure that you're using an administrators account when you
install software, as user accounts do not have sufficient permissions.

| If the second option is selected (DEP for all, except.....), then see if the

| check ur comp for viruses

| if the above dosent work,
| First thing would be to try and remove SP2. If the SP2 uninstaller dosent or

| dependent on how long and how much ur system has changed since SP2 install).
|
| Last resort - not recommended (this is what I had to do)
| backup ur PC, format, install windows and then SP2, and then all your
| programs.
