PT3 needs admin rights?

[pokerrow]

Missed my editing window....also I want to clarify that this PC is in a domain setting...my user account doesn't show up as a local user, but it is part of the administrators group, and other programs that need admin rights are running fine. Don't know if that will help any, but thought more details is better than less.

Knowing that you are a domain user definitely helps. This may be an issue with our end and the installer not correctly identifying the user as Domain\User.

I am going to mark this thread for Josh's attention and we will see what he has to say.

Best regards,

Derek

I will look into the issue.

OK, sounds good. I'm going to have pretty limited internet access between 2/2 and 2/11 (maybe none), so don't worry if I don't reply back...I'll definitely be checking back here as soon/often as I can.

I'm having the same issue. Domain pc with admin rights for my domain account. I really don't want to use a local account...
Just FYI.
thanks

What exactly is PT3 doing when you try to run it?

[quote="pokerrow"ddd]Was fooling around with all the different places I could think of (not that I know them all) to check out access rights: Control Panel/User Accounts, file/shortcut properties, etc. I forget where, but in one of the lists, my name didn't resolve right away...there was a strange string that after a moment resolved into my user name...[/quoteddd]

This number you saw that eventually resolved to your name is an SID or Security Identifier. This is how Windows looks at your security rights. When you are part of a Domain, the Domain Controller will assign you this identifier so it knows how to handle the object in question (in this case your login account). Windows knows this SID once you login, but to translate it to a name that you understand it has to look up that SID which takes time to do. The SID could remain on the screen if you were to delete a user account. You would see the ACL's (Access Control Lists) still have the SID for that user account although now it can't resolve it because the account no longer exists. This creates an orphaned SID that no longer points to an object (login account).

Zouleous: thanks for the explanation, I figured it was something like that.

Josh: What happens is that the dialog box for needing to be run with admin rights comes up right away, and the program ends as soon as I press OK.

Can you post a screenshot of the message? I need to see exactly which one you are getting.

Exact same thing for me. I'll try to post the image here.
