I can't believe that I have to enter an administrator password every time I go to launch the game. I log into my machine on a restricted user account for daily use for a reason. I have no problem permanently granting access to individual programs that require admin access to run on a case by case basis (most games I play require this). I saw that somebody else with this problem mentioned that they installed the game to a drive other than the standard C: drive. I too have my installation of the game, and virtually every program that I have installed, to the D: drive away from the OS. I wonder if this is causing the problem in the way the game asks for permissions to show up, or are there really that many people running their copy of Win 7 with either UAC turned off or under an andmin account?
