Admin privileges

Hi all, just got FS2004, installed it on the pc from the 4 discs and went to run the game. But every time i do that, I get a pop-up box saying 'access denied' and 'please login with administrator priviliges and try again'. I right-clicked on the desktop icon where a line saying 'run as administrtor' comes up but nothing happens when i click on it.

This is where I'm stuck- what do i actually have to do?!! I cant find any answers to this :-(

This may help:

did you get it to work? if not have you checked that the security settings in the fs9 executable are set to allow and not deny?

It has been a while. I know that the windows UAC=User Account Control should be set to minimum or off. Mine is at minimum settings.

You will need the the service pack also. It has been a while. I know there is a posting here on this forum and at Avsim about the exact process.
