Jimmy S. said:Hi Blake,
Let's try a couple of things to get that working for you again:
1. Startup your system in SAFE MODE by pressing F8 repeatedly
while your system is booting up after you've shut down your system
2. Make sure you're using one of your Administrator's accounts.

Blake said:Sim City 2000 installs and runs in safe mode, but doesn't run under a
regular boot. The error "Sim city 2000 has not been properly
registered with the system. Please re-install the game." shows when I
launch the game (not the installer).
Problem is that I did re-install it and tried to register it. The
software is so old that it doesn't recognize my modem, so I can't
register.
Thanks
Any other ideas?

What you've described sounds exactly like what would happen
if you try installing the game with a limited user account.
Install the game using an Administrator / Owners account.
See Control Panel / Users Account to identify which account that is.

Copy a shortcut to the game onto your desktop.
Right click the shortcut and choose the run as...
option to run the game using the same Administrator

Blake said:Hello Jimmy,
Sim City can't log on to the account. Says, "Logon failure: user
account restricted. Possible reason are blank passwords not allowed,
logon hours restriction, or a policy restriction has been enforced."
I tried this with my account, and made a new administrator's account
to be sure, my account has a password. The new one I made doesn't
have a password.
