Problem with Windows 8.1- Administrator Permissions

[Aereldor]

Greetings,

 

I've been having some issues with Windows 8.1, and was hoping someone more experienced could help me resolve it.

 

Certain programs have been asking for administrator permissions even when I try to run them as an administrator, and I'm not allowed to access/save to particular folders. Oddly enough, the only user profile on the computer is the one I'm currently using.

 

This problem seems to affect cracks, for the most part (Except for KMSpico- that I only just heard of- this consists strictly of NO-CD cracks for games I own physical copies of, but the CDs no longer work).

 

I'd appreciate any help.

 

Regards,

Aereldor.

Yep, stop being an illegal pirate and support the devs. If you like it, then pay for it or else there won't be updates or anything and it's just a generally dick move.

Decided to buy a product key, but this isn't exclusive to cracks (the only ones I've used are the aforementioned keygen and no-cd cracks for old games I physically own like Flight Simulator 2004). It crops up when trying to move files in the program files directory or save applications to the same.
