HELP!!!!

Anytime I run A game Later than 2000-2001, my pc asks me
to log in with admin priviliges

Like WHAT THE H***!!

I am the Admin, I am Also The ONLY account there.

Hell, even the Admin on safe mode cant run them!!!!

Trust me, my pc can handle anything that any company can
probably throw at it.

Here Is What I have Tried So far
-Went on admin account, gave my C: drive unlimited access
by any and every user on the system, which is only me.
-Ran games on diffrent accounts
-Created a whole freaking virtual family,
-Installed games on personal folders

Still, i get the same message, "please log on with
administrative Priviges"

HELP!!!

This Has Effected me for:
Battlefield 1942
Medal Of honor
Call Of Duty
Max Payne 2
The Sims (the games made after Livin Large)
