TOPIC: Unable to open Warlords 4
Unable to open Warlords 4 8 years, 7 months ago #1426
Hello (KGB?)
We corresponded 2 years ago about being unable to pick up magic items. Unfortunately all your help did not solve the problem. So, before picking up any items I saved the game. Then if the pick up hung my game I just went back to the saved file and continued without picking up the item. All went well until two days ago the computer did a back-up of 22 items and closed down. Not expecting any problems I started the computer next morning without any trouble. Did my email and a few other things and then hit the Warlords IV icon. Was surprised to see the following error message: You need to log-in as Administrator. Since I got Win 7 (Professional) I have always started Win in professional mode and I suspect that one of the latest updates may have altered a setting somewhere. But how can I log-in in Administrator mode? Until I can log-in as Admin. I am unable to play and enjoy Warlords IV. Would be grateful for some technical advice. Kind regards, Muakleknai |

Muakleknai,
I recall your problem. I didn't recall that it never got resolved or fixed. It seems very strange to me that picking up items would cause a crash for you and no one else. Do you recall if you ever sent me save games to try on my machine? Another Warlord just wrote me with the same message only on Windows 10. I haven't started the game recently (I am now on Win 7 Ultimate myself) but I'll try it tonight to see if I have any problems. One question for you that I also asked this other player. Where did you install Warlords IV directory wise? Win 7 (really Vista onwards) does not like programs writing in C:\Program Files\*. Modern games may install there but they put their saves in C:\Users\* which is where user data is now meant to go. But Warlords IV is so old it puts saves in a subfolder. That may be what the complaint it about so simply installing / moving your install to C:\Users or some other non-sensitive place may be enough to get it to run. KGB |

Late update
I tried running Warlord IV tonight on my Win 7 Ultimate PC with no issues. I do not have the game installed in C:\Program Files. KGB |
