Hello all. I have what may or may not be an easy problem. I have a new computer with is runnning Vista Home Premium 64b. I have installed America's Army, an FPS game. I want to allow my Son, who has a standard account, to play but every time he tries he's informed that PC is blocking him.
I have the parental controls set to allow games in general and specifically to always allow America's Army. I've set the allowed rating to be up to and including mature. Still I cannot run the game except on my Admin account. Not even a prompt to enter my password is given, which really wouldn't help as I don't want to have to do that every time anyway.
All I want is for my son to be able to play on his own account without my help. What can I do?
TIA

I don't use it myself, but we do have a tutorial about it:

See if that helps at all

Thank you. I read the game section of that tutorial and it seems that I did everything there. Still no games.
