X3 Reunion installs as normal but when I run it an error msg appears saying I need administrator privileges even tho I'm on my administrator account. Any suggestions anyone???

Hi, right click the icon for the game on your desktop, select properties, select compatibility, at the bottom tick the option 'run as admin'
run the game see if it works, also under the same option you can enable it to run this programme for XP SP2 you may also have to enable this option for most games but just try the first option. I also have X3 but have not played it for a while or tried it in Vista, let us know how it works good luck

Hello...tried the 'run as admin' suggestion and it worked! It then directed me to install newer drivers which I did and X3 is up and running! Thanks very much!

seems to run fine up to now, no problems. Got a much better graphics card in my new system though which obviously helps. Thanks again mate.
