Help, New Guy Here....

Landshark44 · 02-11-2006, 08:30 PM

Hey Guys, my name is Scott. I just purchased the "Front Office Football" Software. I am a Football Junkie and am looking forward to playing this game.

I downloaded the software, but when I go to install it, I get a message that says "unable to add program icons" and my progress stops at that point.

Wondering if any of you might know what the problem is, or have a suggestion to offer. Thanks....

Are you trying to install as a Limited User under XP? Sounds like you don't have permissions.

Welcome - sounds like your don't have admin rights in Windows XP.

I am not sure what "limited User" means. I am running windows xp. I purchased the program for 24.95 vis an electronic download. i was emailed a code which i assume is the license. I have already downloaded the program. i just can't seem to install it....

right, there is nothign wrong with the program, pre se. You just need to go into the control panel of windows and make sure the user you are, has the admin rights.

"Limited User" means you have limited rights on your machine. You can run programs, but certain areas of the system (such as the Start Menu where the icons would be placed) are off limits to you. This is used in business settings for security purposes, and in home settings to keep kids from messing up the machine.

Your user account needs to have Admin privileges in order to install most software.

Be sure to read the "sticky" thread at the top of "general discussions".
Lots and lots of very useful info in there.

MizzouRah · 02-11-2006, 09:52 PM

Once you learn, we probably won't hear from you for awhile. Ah... I remember my first time.
