    Parental Controls (cant find them anywhere(msconfig,user accounts..))


    So i tried to install a game called Company of Heroes Opposing Fronts and the installation comes to 99% then it says it failed cause parental controls are on and that i should turn them off and try again..so i went to control panel>user accounts and looked for it but there arent any so then i made a new standard user and again there are no parental controls there..Any help would be really appreciated

    Hello Veljko, and welcome to Seven Forums.
    • If the computer is connected to a domain, then parental controls will not be available for it.
    • Parental Controls can only be setup while logged on to an administrator account.

    and

    Hope this helps, :)

    Since your on a domain, you'll need to talk with the domain administrator. Only she/he will be able to set it.

This feature would be great. But is there a way to set up restrictions on my own account? I cannot afford to lose administrator privileges as I'm the only user of this computer and need to access system files frequently.
