Please help problems with Launchpad access

[karnn]

<p>I just downloaded EQ2 on my Vista desktop and everytime i log onto the non adminstrative user it says Adminstrative Privilage Required screen pops up saying to please login as a user with adminstrative accessor or on Microsoft Vista configure your LaunchPad shortcut to run as adminstrator and restart the Launchpad.</p><p>I have tried to enable as much access to my other user account but so far im unable to find a proper solution to this headache of a problem. It may be anti- virus or firewall making it disabled or it might be something else I can't think of.</p><p>Just wanted to ask if there is another way to get EQ2 to start without having to worry about the launchpad or Launcher to run since it  might work and bypass the restricted Launcher files.</p>

<p>Greetings,</p><p>If you haven't already, please perform the following steps:</p><p>1. Right click on the program launch icon2. Left click on "Properties".3. In the new window that pops up click on the "Compatibility" tab.4. In the "Compatibility Mode" area check the box next to "Run this program in compatibility mode for:"5. In the drop down list make certain that "Windows XP (Service Pack 2)" is selected.6. Under "Privilege Level" make certain that the box next to "Run this program as administrator" is checked.7. Click on "Apply" then click on "Ok".8. Right click on the icon and select "Run as Administrator"</p><p>Besides that, I believe the administrator privileges are only needed if you install the game to certain locations.  As long as you install it somewhere outside of the program files directory, you might not need administrator access at all.</p>
