Installing problems. HELP

Ltddt · March 2011

I got a virus, sent in my computer to be fixed. They sent it back perfect. But ever since then, I havent been able to download crossfire. So I got a CD with CF on it and installed it. Now it wont update. I have everything required already. Is there a number I can call for help with CF? If there is, I cant find it. I'm probably over looking cause i'm ticked. Or is there any suggestions....?

Do you have administrator privileges on your user account?

I'm not sure. I dont really go on forums except just for something to do. How do I get it?

I mean do you have administrator privileges on your PC account?

To check, press Start > Control Panel > User Accounts.

If your account name doesn't have 'Administrator' underneath it, then you cannot install CrossFire. If you're the only person who uses the PC, you should be able to change your account type manually, if not, get whoever owns the PC to change it for you.

try run it as administrator , if that dont work put your anti-virus off than it will be updated if you open crossfire and you can play.

Open up Microsoft Security Essentials, go to Settings, then from the list on the left, select 'Real-time protection', un-tick 'turn on real time protection', and save changes.

i'm sure you can uninstall MS security essentials, but if you want to, do that, then restart your system, and see if it works, if not, try a fresh install

I think I got it fixed now. I made a full copy of the updated version and i'm downloading it now. I'll see how it goes when it starts installing it

Ahh, it's always best to use the fully updated version, but if the error comes up again, take a screenie so we can see what the problem is exactly.
