I need help for someone else

[hubbabubba]

For the past few months (yes: months) I've been trying to help a guy install my Windows 7 "Patch".

He's not very PC savvy and, finally, I think I figure-out what is not working.

Installing the patch is basically substituting the new COMBATFS.CFG for the original.

The problem he has is that, after right-clicking his mouse, he gets the following drop-down menu;

open

run as admin

troubleshoot compatibility

scan selecteditems for viruses

scan with avg

scan with malwarebytes

send to
copy

create shortcut

properties.

No "delete" or "rename" or "cut" or whatever. He has a W7 64bits that he bought specifically for CFS1 (which shows dedication, you must admit) and a Win 10 machine.

I know that he needs to reset his privileges - or whatever they're called - but the trouble is that I've done mine so long ago that I can't find what to do.

Anyone kind enough to take the torch and explain, in very laymen terms, how to get permission to delete any files under W7?

Please!!!

I will pass along to him a link to this post.

Just click run as administrator and continue.

And just how do you do that?

I mean step-by-step as if you where sitting next to him, screen captures wouldn't hurt.

P.S.- If you mean in the drop-down menu, it wont work. It will simply start the game.

This person has user account control active?

What you can do is simply copy the cfg file in there to a safe place and in the sim replace it with yours, overwriting it.

He probably has a very restricted user account.

The problem is not the COMBATFS.CFG file. In fact, I told him not to play the game after a full install as to not create one.

I fiddle with his problem part of last night and I think he simply needs to get control over his machine by creating an administrator account and using it.

Will email him and come back with news later.
