Before or after my suggestion. If after, did trying that work or not?


Some programs will not run under a non-admin account. That is how
they were coded. You will need to discuss the problem with whomever
wrote this unidentified game or maybe find a forum of users of that
unidentified game. Since you are playing a 16-bit game, which maybe
thinks it should be ran under DOS, you can't make it work unless it
has a configuration option to change its default behavior.
