I f you have admin accounts you have admin privs.

If you set kids up with limited accounts a lot of their games won't
work on the limited desktops. This is a problem I've been having. I
haven't seen it tell me that I don't have admin privs unless there are
multiple instances of the program running at the same time.

This may or may not help.

We are running Windows XP Home, Radeon 9800 Pro on a relatively new Dell XPS. We have upgraded or Updated Windows, Direct X, the Radeon Card , and the Ubi game drivers. Since this is a family computer and we know little about XP we have set up each member of the family with administrator accounts. Is there a way for us to login with administrative privileges as the dialog box suggests or is there a way to turn off the the administration tools when accessing these programs?
