I don't want to run as a "administrator"

DJ44MWR · 1 June 09, 19:35

The game was giving me some trouble so the solution boxed suggested to run as an/the administrator. That's fine and dandy but it screws the resolution up. How do I fix this or how do I go back to running it without running as an administrator? Thanks

What kind or trouble was GTR2 giving you and what OS are you running?

Probably Vista if he's having to "Run as Administrator".

Have you tried running the config.exe as an administrator and changing the resolution before you run the game?

Or you could run the config.exe, set the resolution, then set the config.ini to "read only" (right click, select properties, tick "read only" tickbox, click OK) and then run the game.

Not neccessarily. I'm running XP pro and have to run GTR2 in Administrator mode, if I try in a limited account I can't access half the program settings. I can't remember which because I haven't run it that way for ages. IIRC, the race settings such as number of laps, what kind of start and lots of settings in the garage as well wouldn't do anything.
