Re: bridge



It sounds like a problem I've come across quite a few times.. When you
update an older version of windows to XP, for some reason it seems the
"imported" user isn't granted full administrator privelages..
Try this.. open Control Panel- User Accounts then under "Pick a task" click
on "Create a new account"
then create for yourself a brand new Computer Administrator account..
Once this is done click Start-Log Off-Switch User and log on to the account
you just created.. Then go back to the zone page and try to install the game
again..

Friend recently upgraded from 98 to XP Pro /SP2 and cannot access bridge
game
All security patches are installed

1 Attempted to download new install but does not download
2 Checked that activex is working
3 ensured that not blocked in restricted sites
4 user has administrator rights but is listed as transferred from windows
98.
5 established a new user with full administrator rights but same problem
with downloading
6 only firewall is from XP /SP2 and was disabled for testing - again no
luck
in download

I would like to completely remove any trace of bridge game and try a fresh
install.

Also how do i reset user permissions so that rights are administrator
Can you please advise procedure /link to appropriate URL so computer is
clean.
