I just installed Vista today, i tried to install Bioshock and it said "Parent control access denied"....i looked all over the web to get this straightend out, w/ no luck...i tried the stuff it tells me to do , but nothing works...is there a way that i can just take that [bleep] parent control totaly out of my PC?

Is it your computer, or parents' computer?

Is it your computer, or parents' computer?

its my computer, i am the parent, im also the only person on this computer which makes me the admin.....ive installed left 4 dead, doom3, overlord, crysis, and call of duty 5 world at war.....why isnt it letting Bioshock thru?

Go Start>Run, type in:
services.msc
Click OK.

In services window, find "Parental Controls" service, and stop it.
Try to install game again.

i stopped and disabled it, i still get this message "Parent controll access denied. The game will now exit." any other suggestions would be great, thx again

[Broni]

Did you restart computer after making those changes?

[Clinetyme]

yes, still gave me that message, i went back to see if it was still disabled ...and it is, Vista isnt much of a gaming station is it?....Guitar hero 3 is telling me that my "computer isnt modified yet"...any other ideas?

Please download the enclosed folder. [attachment=26312:Perms.zip]Save and extract its contents to the desktop. Once downloaded open the Perms folder and right click on the RunMe.bat and select "Run as an Administrator". Since you are running VISTA, and error will be experience. Ignore the error and a report will be produced.

Please post the contents of that report in your next reply.
