Parental controls blocking games as administrators

I have a similar problem to many other Vista users. I downloaded several
games from Bigfish. Most work but one won't, and it's rated E. Access denied
parental controls pops up when I try to run it. I only have one account, the
administrator. The game has no option to run as administrator. And parental
controls are not set up at all because they aren't even allowed on an admin.
account. I have tried changing the access controls to allow all users in the
game properties, as well as changing the game rating system Vista is using.
Must I actually create a user account, and allow open access with parental
controls in order to play this game? (Family Fued II) by the way. How
tedious and annoying!! If anyone knows how to fix this please write back. I
will try the one suggestion of disabling the UAC, but doesn't that also apply
only to users, not admins? Also, $59.00 for help from Windows!? Aren't you
rich enough, Bill?
 
Had same prob with my vista,i download family feud 2 and was going to
play and was told i could not cause of parental control,i disable and
still could not play,had to uninstall the game because it was stress
me out,but before this game i was already having another game prob
with other games,having probs download games and the ones that was
already install wont let me play,i can't play no games at all,not from
pogo,iwin,bigfish or any other web pages,keeps telling me few
different problems,some says game launcher,glworker,ect ect,i already
did disk deframenter,scanner for virus,scan for spyware and
adware,everything is fine,can anybody help me here or any suggetions
what to do,thanks so much.
