Hello,

I have 5 machines on a windows 2000 server network, 1 user with windows xp pro plays games a lot. The problem i am having is some games wont work when thay are logged into the domain but thay work ok when logged in to the local workstaton. I have installed these games with the administrator account on xp but when the user logs back on to the domain with a normal user account and tryes to play the games from his local computer i get errors like, "Insert the game CD" even tho the cd is in the drive?

Do i have to set the user rights in group policy on the server?

If so what user rights do i need to set?

I think it could be somthing to do with importing registry information but this wont work because the user only has a "Domain User" account on the server
 
hi nightowl,

try to install the user name on the local machine and add to administrators on the said local machine.

hope this solves the problem...
