Inadequate O/S privileges

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.games (More info?)

I have lost the ability to play punkbuster supported BF 1942 games online. It
always says that I was kicked for inadequate O/S privileges. VERY ANNOYING.
And surprisingly I've not had any reply from EA support. Anyone got any
suggestions? Thanks folks

Hi Steve,

Try playing using an Administrators account.

The O/S privileges message probably means that you're using
a regular account which won't allow punkbuster to update the registry.

There's actually only one user on this computer (me) so I am the admin. It
used to work fine I've only just got the problem. It's on XP home addition
