Hi McMaster,

When running a restricted user account with fast user switching under Windows XP,
some games will not start correctly. The game requests that the original disk be
placed in the drive, even if it is already present.

To remedy this issue, download and run this fix for Windows XP English Version:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/WinXPHome/Patch/1.0/WXP/EN-US/updatesecdrv.exe

If that patch doesn't resolve the issue, there are several troubleshooting steps
outlined in this article: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=228985 Another trick
that I found sometimes works is to make the limited account an administrator
account and run that game once. This will allow the registry settings for that user
to be created, and they will still exist after the account is changed back. Good luck! :-)

One last tip for Kazaa users, is to uninstall Kazaa and the game, and then install
the game again. Kazaa has been known to prevent games from starting.
