GameTap on Vista

Ok I have RC1 and I want to install GameTap I have heard of people that have
installed the Program on there system but I dont know how they did it. It
keeps coming up with Must be logged into administrator error. I have done
the Regedit hack and enabled the Admin. Login. Loging into Admin. account
and Running in XP SP2 Compat. Mode or Win2K with 256 colors and run as admin.
still does not work. Please help I know there is someone out there that can
do it. P.S. I work at GameTap so if I can get this done I can add it in with
the GameTap System in no time. Thanks.

I haven't got any experience with installing Gametap
However it sounds like UAC (user account control) is interfering with what
you are trying to do.

To work around this you need to disable UAC to do that just type "msconfig"
is your search box when you see Mscofig come up run it as administrater
click on tolls scroll down the list select "disable UAC" cliclk on "launch"
reboot your system
and ttry installing Gametap again

hopefully this will work for you

Well I thought that I had already tried that but just in case I didnt I tried
it again. And like I thought I had already tried that before and it did not
work I heard someone had done something to the reg. other than adding the
admin. to the specialusers but I dont know what they did any help with this
would be very good.

Logging on as administrater and running as administrater won't help if you
have UAC still enabled
UAC will not let the computer run as administrater it will block certain
processes and keep asking you for permission for others
If you want the full functions of running in Administrater mode you need to
turn off UAC
