Re: blocked by administrator

THIS WORKED!
I had this issue as well and it has been driving me mental the past hour or so, and using your solution with the cmd prompt has worked! My Sims 2 Double Deluxe is installing as I type! Thank you for your answer, this helped me a lot.

I don't know why Windows is doing this. It would be nice if it would just let us use our disks like we're supposed to. Thank you again! <3

Another method (the one I use bc the cmd prompt one doesn't work for me) is to open task manager, click create a new task, browse for the .exe you need to boot sims 2 (or the autorun on the disc), and make sure you tick the box that references creating the task with administrator privileges or whatever. Works for me. It's how I have to install like 3 or 4 add-ons and also launch the game. 

The wording is not exact. But that's the gist of it. 

This worked for me! You're a life saver.

THANK YOU!!! now i can play the sims 2 apartment life now 🙂

Amazing! This second one worked for me. Thank you 🙂 

I tried going to command prompt and doing all the stuff that you said to do but it didn’t work what do I do 

I tried doing that what you said but it didn’t work and I have a learning disability so I get confused sometimes and not understanding or knowing how to do things correctly so please help explain what to do because I don’t understand and is it a drive like the game thing to play your game in because I even had my dad and I’m 33 years old but I still live with my parents so I hope you understand I need help please 🙏  also sorry about my not taking a picture of my computer game but I was out of town yesterday morning and part of the afternoon of yesterday and Monday night and Monday morning so I’m back now but my computer is not hooked up right now so I took a picture of my tv

Just wondering if the sims 2 games will be able to run if I have a Windows 11 update and again it would be nice if you could help thx a ton and I don’t know what to take a picture of so I’m going to take a picture of my sims 4 game since it’s about the sims but I don’t know if you feel scared because I have a learning disability and that’s why you’re not helping but again I would really appreciate it if you could help because I’m good at some games but I’m not good at computers 

I’m so tired that nobody is getting back to me it’s making me sad doesn’t anyone care for people 

I’m sorry but I’m also confused as how to do that do you think you could please let me know thx

Just wondering what kind of computer you have because I have a dell laptop and if you have windows 11 because I do and it doesn’t work for my laptop but I have not tried to do that setting the clock but we have literally tried everything and I’m just afraid that if I do this it might ruin my laptop or something like that
