>You do need administrator or power user privileges to install the game. You
>will also need to set the security on the doom game directory so that users
>have update privileges. If not you won't be able to save any games.

>If you are using XP Professional do the following.
>From the Administrator account:
>
>Right click on the directory, select "Sharing and Security. Click the
>Security tab.
>If the check boxes in the bottom window are grayed out then toward the
>bottom there is an Advanced button, click it.
>In the bottom area there is an option "Inherit from parent the
>permission...."
>Uncheck this box. When the next box comes up click the "Copy" button.
>
>In the top window you should have several users listed like Administrator,
>Power Users, SYSTEM, etc. One should say "Everyone" or "Users."
>That's the "user" you need to update.
>Select that user and click the "Full Control" checkbox in the bottom section
>and click OK.
>
>Your game should work just fine now.
>
>If you are using XP Home Edition then you need to be logged in as Owner or
>Administrator to play the game.
