Full Version: Brother is pissed on Win7 needing so much admin rights
Discovery Gaming Community > The Community > Software & Hardware

gosh darn it... I'm getting pissed here.

My brother just installed a new Windows 7 OS to make the comp more *cough*"legit"*cough*. These details are unimportant...

What is important for me is that my comp account doesn't have admin rights... meaning I'm HEAVILY restricted in installing the Disco mod again.

The biggest problem is that my bro is being a pussy cautious and fears there might be "viruses" in whatever I download... especially in the installation of FLMM, FLAM and download of Disco4.85.

He doesn't overall trust me on installing it, and is demanding to know just why is there so much need for admin power into downloading the mod. He explains that it SHOULD be so simple as only 2 steps:

1.) download mod

2.) enact mod

then I'm ready to play...

But of course, I know that there is so much need for admin rights, but my brother doesn't seem to have the open-mindedness to understand, especially from me.

Can anyone help me?

I don't have the job to buy hacker-tools sad.gif

Also... fantasy? I'm not really (meaning, at all) computer-savvy. But I'm hoping I can learn as well...

Edit: ah yeah... When I download the DiscoMod from the mirror-site, instead of a simple zip-file I am introduced that it is FLMM-archived, or something. Don't know what it really means, but all I know is it ain't no zip file, and when I try to "extract" it, I'm getting this message that I'm "access is denied", and that the file is possibly corrupt.

It doesn't make much sense because the process gives me an insta-zip file on my laptop, unlike on the comp (and it's ALSO Win7, but starter set)

Help?

Install stuff to your profile. (By default c:\users\leonardo_tigre) where you don't need admin rights to install stuff. Especially FLMM.
