hi, ive loaded a game and alas cannot play it as a pop up comes up saying ‘Parental Controls have prevented this application from running’…. im on vista and have went to control panel, too disable it but that does not work.Im the only one who uses this computer and when i try to disable from my account wont let me. ive tried opening another user account but still dont work,,,, maybe i shud just wipe everything and put a new xp on vista is so rubbish grrrrrrr
Hallo Sue, i dont have any knowledge of vista so can offer no advice, try this site for this problem and many others too….
If your disc has enough space try and partition, have xp and vista if it will allow….good luck with that. :)from some other forum not my contribution just copied and pasted
I actually work for HP tech support. I spoke with a customer today
that was having your issue. She had the trial of PopCap Games version
of Family Feud and it worked fine. She purchased the full version from
the website. After that, it gave her the error message “parental
controls have prevented this application from running.” She had no
parental controls set, so I was practically lost. After pulling my
hair out for a while, I finally decided to try changing the
compatibility settings to Windows XP SP2. To do this, follow the steps
below.1. Find the executable file (familyfeud.exe)
2. Right-click on it and select properties.
3. Click on the compatibility tab at the top of the window.
4. Put a checkmark in the box by “Run this program in compatibility
mode for”
5. Change the option in the dropdown to Windows XP SP2.
6. Click “Apply” and “Ok”
7. You should now be able to run the program just fine.or just type say
Parental Controls have prevented this application from running vista
in google search box and look through the results
thankyou pete ur a star that worked a Big Hug N Kiss goes out too u MWAAAAAAAAh
