  2. administrator block

    Hello,

    I am trying to download some games from cd.

    I keep getting a box which states blocked by administrator. Contact administrator.

    I am listed as administrator, and can't figure out this issue resolution.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    "An administrator has blocked you from running this app"

    Hi Abhinav,

    Based on the description that you provided, there are settings that we need to configure to resolve this concern. However, we need to do some troubleshooting steps to isolate the cause of this issue. Before we proceed, may we know the following:

    • Any changes made on the computer prior to this concern?
    • When did you notice about this issue?
    • Is this the first time that you encountered this problem?
    • Can you send us a screenshot with the error message that you are getting?
      Note: Please do not include any personal information.

    In the meantime, we suggest that you perform the following:

    • Right-click on Start menu.
    • Select Command Prompt (Admin) and type: net user administrator /active:yes.
    • Press Enter.

    Doing the steps above will activate your user as the administrator of the computer. Once done, kindly check if you will still experience the same issue.

    Please post back with the result for further assistance.
