Can't launch, parental controls
Posted: 11 Sep 2019, 17:18
Dear Community,
I got AoE III via steam and played it for some time, then uninstalled. Now I tried to reinstall the game, but it won't run.
The error message says: Error - unable to continue running the game
You do not have permission to run the game. Check the parental control settings in the Windows Game Explorer.
But I have no windows game explorer and I can find no parental control settings. I'm on windows 7 x64. No UAC, running as admin, no anti virus or funky software. All the relevant game files are run as admin and under XP SP3 compatibility mode. I already tried the obvious stuff: Reinstalling (after deleting known game reg entries), checking file integrity, creating new windows users, trying different compatibility modes and permissions on the .exe files.
Thanks in advance for any help on that matter!
