I am having a problem with getting NFS carbon to open. I keep getting an error that says please open with administrator account and try again. I have contacted EA about this, they did not help. I have also tried creating a new admin account and install it there, that did not work either. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
It may be the copy protection and a recent Windows update. Do you need a disk in the CD/DVD drive to run the game?
Also, how long has this been happening?
Yes I need a disk in the dvd drive. Months.
Know this is an old tread but I have found the answer to this question if anyone is wondering. It is update KB3086255, security update to windows 7, it causes the dvd drive to be read incorrectly. Delete this update and you should be fine. Hope this helps.
Just some information. Please read completely. Deleting KB3086255 does open up some security risk.
