Hey, just got my new computer up and running, It has Vista Ultimate and everything. So I try to install Halo PC on it, got it to install. But my only problem is the when I try to go on the Internet setting on Multiplayer games, It just says "You must have Administrator privileges to download this required patch". Of course, I already have Administrator privileges. When I installed it on my older computer (which had XP on it) it worked fine! Can anyone help me?

Slaying noobs since 2007.

Uh, I am not sure, do you have any resrtictions up for all the other users? I don't think that would affect the game though, but again I'm not sure.

I don't even have any other users on this computer, so I guess it's not that...

Right click on the shortcut or program and hit run as administrator.

Thats one thing I hate about vista
It asks if Windows Update should be running and if it's malware.

Most of the PC issues posted here are the result of PEBKAC.

Right-click on the icon, and select Properties. On the compatiblity tab, check, "Run as administrator."

Finally, something that is related to good old Halo PC and not Halo 2 Vista. :P

I, for one, applaud Microsoft for including a comprehensive Parental Controls feature that goes far beyond simply creating users that either have administrative rights or limited rights.
