Let's try a couple of things to get that working for you again:

1. Startup your system in SAFE MODE by pressing F8 repeatedly
     while your system is booting up after you've shut down your system

2. Log in with an account you've created as a "Computer Administrator"
     account that you'll use to play the game. (Don't use a Limited account)
