insanegamer Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 So I installed the Oblivion Mod Manager twelve times so far and each time it keeps saying I'm a limited user and I can't install more mods. How do I fix it? The explanation they give doesn't help because when I try to install it to a different file it says it needs to be installed to the oblivion directory file. Any real help would be great! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bben46 Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 You must BE an administrator on your computer first. Did you set up your computer yourself or did someone else set it up for you?Usually if you set it up you will be the administrator by default.

bben46 Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Try this procedure1. Navigate to your Oblivion folder - this is where you installed the game.2. find OblivionModManager.exe This is the OBMM program. NOT the shortcut icon3. RIGHT click on the OblivionModManager.exe A drop down list should appear.4. At the bottom of the list you should see properties. LEFT click on Properties.5. A box should appear. At the top find the tab labeled Compatibility, left click on it6. Near the bottom is a check block labeled Run this Program as an administrator, check it7 click on the box that says 'Change settings for all users' (in case you use a different user to play)8. click on the apply box in the lower right corner, then click on the OK box.9. try it to see if it works. Normally as the administrator you should automatically have administrator privileges for all programs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted936047User Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 I've had this problem quite a few times with OBMM, and I've followed every regular technique for allowing OBMM recognize you, including disabling the UAC (if you're a Vista user like myself, which is unfortunate). What I did was create my own Oblivion folder on my desktop and re-installed Oblivion to that folder, then installed OBMM afterwards. Haven't had an issue since.

brianb123 Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Had the same problem with Vista. the only work around i found was turning UAC off then rebooting then installing oblivion then obmm. not running it and setting admin rights then i could run it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antraxx777 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I haven't had any problems with OBMM on Vista, but yeah one of the first things ANY Vista user needs to do is turn off that damn UAC crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
