I guess you can guess what my problem is:
Windows 7 doesn't like CIV! how oh how do I keep it from installing on my admin account? It odes that even if I start the install from my local (non-admin) account. and how can I make Windows 7 stop asking me for the darn admin password eacht ime I start CIV????? and, while I am at it, how do I make it like Buffy? Currently, it can't start the mod at all. ![]()

Civ 4 needs to run with administrator rights. With Win 7 that usually means installing and patching by right-clicking on the .exe and choosing run as administrator and running on an administrator account.
I run using an administrator account so don't have the issue of it asking for my administrator password. I also don't use Buffy so can't help there although the issues may be related to not running on an administrator account. You could try installing it to a non-standard location rather than letting it go into program files. |

I have no issues running Civ4 in Windows 7 but I installed it on the Admin account.
If you want to run Buffy mod, you definitely need to "run as administrator" |

Same here, installed on the admin account and it runs fine. From a technical viewpoint that is, from a gameplay PoV it's a different story

have you installed it from your admin account? Steam is rather picky about that I've noticed.
