EXE Won't Open, "Please login with administrator privileges" Error
Out of nowhere, I suddenly found myself unable to open one specific program. When trying to open it, I get the error message "Please login with administrator privileges and try again." Obviously, doing exactly that is my next step. However, nothing happens when I try to right click and run it as administrator. Thinking something must have gotten corrupted within the program, I went to uninstall it. Trying to do so proved troublesome, as each time I attempted an uninstall through Add/Remove a Program, nothing would happen. I finally succeeded after downloading the IObit Uninstaller. Once the program was reinstalled, I found myself back to square one. Still the same error message persists and I have no luck when running as administrator. I am not experiencing this issue with any other program and have run a virus/adware scan to be safe. Of course, I've restarted my PC a number of times and have tried to run it through Safe Mode, all to no avail. Finally, after some Google searching, I attempted to disable UAC, which again did nothing. Any ideas? I should add that I haven't installed anything since last running the program successfully. If it matters, it is a computer game from 2002 called Medal of Honor that I have had on my PC without issue for years.
