Game: The Secrets of DaVinci. Installed: Oct 6. (purchased from Amazon) Game installed flawlessly, but when I click on it to start, it says, " Insufficient privileges: you must be Administrator when you run this application for the first time." I am Administrator for my own machine. Suggestions?

Try right clicking the game icon and selection Run As Administrator and see what happens. You don't say what OS you have, but hopefully that might help.
Once again, weeds are my life!

I wish it were that easy, but no, that didn't do it. It opened that dialogue box and I clicked OK, but still get the same pop-up "Not Administrator" window when I tried to start the game. I'm running Win7. This is a new one for me.

When you right click and select Run as Administrator are you asked for a password in the pop up window? If so, do you enter your administrator password? I realize you are the administrator/user, but if you are being asked for a password you will have to input one to be allowed access to the game.
I seem to remember, from somewhere, you can go into something and indicate who has access to what. I tried to find where I was thinking of but drew a blank. Perhaps someone who knows what I'm referring to can give explicit instructions.
If something gets your goat, it just proves you have a goat to get.
