Go to the menu bar and click on "Security". To do that, open regedt32.exe and locate the "LucasArts Entertainment LLC" key. Let's assume, for the sake of this explanation, that you want the user "robot", who is a member of the "power users" group, to be able to play the game. Because as it is, only user accounts with Admin privileges can give the game proper access to check and change the registry key(s). It is the permissions for the keys that need to be changed a bit. But believe it or not, nothing in the registry needs to be changed. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/ SOFTWARE/LucasArts Entertainment Company LLC/ Monkey4/ Retail This is the location and name of the key: The game creates a key in the registry of Windows 2000. Also, trying to start the game (without having applied the change to the registry explained below) as any other user other than a user with Admin privileges will result in corruption of the games' files, even if an Administrator has installed the game.
You should know what you are doing, if not, you better not do anything.Īnd another thing: trying to install the game will fail- the game will install, but an error message will make you aware that registry keys could not be created. Please note, you have to be in posession of Administrator privileges to install the software, and also to apply the change to the registry explained below. I can understand that the permission to install the software should be blocked to anyone other than the Admin, but for security's sake, other users should be allowed to play the game. I don't know why LucasArts chose to not let users other than the Administrator play the game. If this is done properly, no harm can be done, but I will not take any responsibility if this causes anyone problems. Please only do this if you are comfortable making changes to the registry. This is not a workaround, it actually solves the problem. I found a solution to this problem that LucasArts obviously doesn't want anyone to know about (concerned that people with Admin privileges might screw up their registries).
