Solved Blocked By Group Policy while launching JustCause2

[JustCall]

Hello everyone,

When i try to launch Just Cause 2, a message pops up.
"This program is blocked by group policy. For more information, contact your system administrator."

I`ve researched on Google for about 2 hours now, and the problem still isn`t solved.

I AM the administrator, and there are no other users on my computer.
I`ve tried running the .exe as administrator.
I am not part of a workgroup, or a domain.

Please tell if you need more information.

Thanks, JustCall

Hi JustCall, welcome to sevenforums...

Looks like you don't have administrator rights. I know you say you do, but the pop-up says otherwise.

And sorry, but that pop-up is clearly talking about Microsoft's Solitaire game. What's going on here?

+1

Going by the picture alone, it looks like you are trying to play solitaire on a locked down work machine.

If it is a work machine, is the group policy editor even available to you?

 

[JustCall]

Hello,

The picture is from the Solitaire game, taken from Google Images.
If i upload my own screenshot of the message, it is in Dutch language.
But the game i am trying to load is Just Cause 2.
And, i have administrator rights.

Click here to see the popup.

Thanks

 

[JustCall]

And i can access the Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc)

 

[sygnus21]

- Who's machine is this?
- Is this a work machine?
- Do you have issues with other games/software, hardware?

Oh, and just because you can access GPE, doesn't necessarily mean you have full admin rights.

And please post images here as some (me) don't like going off site to view images. It’s just much easier and simpler to have images posted here.

Thanks.

 

[JustCall]

This is my personal PC, i just got it.
No, this isn`t a work machine.
Other software works fine... It`s just Just Cause 2

Thanks

 

[sygnus21]

Where did you get the game from?

Anyway you can check out steps 11b and 14 here - http://www.sevenforums.com/gaming/77293-tips-troubleshooting-game-issues.html to see if this helps.

 

[JustCall]

I got the game from Steam, but it is a Windows problem.
Downloaded it and it didn`t work at the first time.

Windows firewall isn`t blocking me, and i have permissions.

Thanks

This tutorial by Brink will show you how to post screen shots.

The good folks here need screens shot off of your computer not off of the web.

If everything works on your computer except that game I not understanding how it can be a Windows 7 problem.

I will be watching and learning.

How did you determine it's a Windows problem?

And have you looked to the Steam forums to see what they're saying about the issue?

Also, check this link for troubleshooting Steam games - Steam Support (also in my guide, step 11)

Let us know.

My friend (Where i got my PC from) told me it was a Windows problem, but he could not fix it.
So... I`ll check on the Steam Forums now...

 

[sygnus21]

You mind telling us what the problem is, or does he not know? Seems to me we're just going through a bunch of guessing games where we have to extract information on every post. Sorry.

Good luck.

 

[Layback Bear]

Yep you are correct sygnus21. It's the tail chasing the dog syndrome.

JustCall I think I understand better now. You just got the computer from a friend with little information except your friend thinks it's a Windows problem.

Lets start with the basics.

Do this tutorial by Brink and lets see if Microsoft still loves you.

http://www.sevenforums.com/windows-...ne-activation-issue-posting-instructions.html

Once that passes muster then we can go to the next steps.
To find and repair a problem one must go step at a time.

Take a look at my System Specs. Lower left corner of this post. You will see a lot of information.
See if you could fill in your specs a little more completely so we know what we are working with.

This little free program should show you a lot about your system.

[sygnus21]

Pretty sure it's not a "Windows problem" but rather a game problem, but we're getting sparse info here and there. And if it is a Windows issue, it could very well be an admin rights issue, or lack thereof.

Anyway...

- Who's machine is this?
- Is this a work machine?
- Do you have issues with other games/software, hardware?

This is my personal PC, i just got it.
No, this isn`t a work machine.
Other software works fine... It`s just Just Cause 2

Thanks, JustCall

And i updated my system specs

 

[Layback Bear]

Thank you for updating your system specs. When you get time could you also put your security programs and what power supply you have?

While we are waiting for a expert to look at the log, could you put in a post what Tuneup, Cleanup, Speedup, ect programs you use?
Information like this can be very helpful.

I have requested for some help with the log. Just hang in their.

 

[JustCall]

I do not have any PC Tuner things, besides DriverMAX.
Do i need to install one?

And i don`t have time to check my power supply now...
That will be updated soon.

Thanks, JustCall

 

[Layback Bear]

No you don't need a Tuneup program and no you don't want one unless you would like more computer problems.

I have never used DriveMax.
Windows 7 is pretty much driver complete. Most report that they have problems with most of these driver programs.

No hurry on the power supply. Just when you can.
It's important to know this information. The power supply is the most important part in the computer. Nothing works as it should unless the power supply works as it should.
