Standard User Problem On Vista

[deathkid092]

Okay, here's the deal. I am a standard user on Windows Vista and everytme I click on the shortcut for DDO, it does nothing. It works perfectly fine when I am on my fathers (Adm.) account. I personally don't have access to an admin. account. I found this article in Microsoft's database. It might shed some light on the situation. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...5.aspx#ID0EIBA





Any feedback would be much appreciated.

If it works on his account it is likely an issue with permissions for yours, you may want to have him double check that you have access to use and run the DDO files and folders on your user account (also ensuring that you have uac on as a regular vista user and the application not set to "run as administrator)

well we just reinstalled vista because of a virus and i reinstalled ddo but i still cant play because of uac or sumthing because in the task manager turbine involker is there and i dont see it on screen. am i the first to have this problem? my dad said something about a code that older games have to put in to their games now in order to uac to allow it or sumthing like that, he read it on microsoft ill see if i can't find the article.

You pretty much need to have an admin account to run DDO. Also helps to disable UAC but that's just my personal preference(and was posted by support as something that needed to be done in order to run the game).

i just got this message from clicking on invoker

System.dllNotFoundException: Unable to load DLL (GameuxInstallHelper.dll).
at Invoker.Invoker.VerifyAccess(String GDFBinPath,Int32& HasAccess)

i have access to all games and ddo isn't showing up on vista's game list. why might this be?
