    Some games will work without registry entries (ex. if you had the game on a seperate partition then the OS and you formatted and reinstalled the OS) but when you go and run the game it will recreate some the entries.

    the reason gta2 won't work is because you HAVE to install it, because it needs registry entries to run.

    because when you are in limited then you are not allowed to access or change the reg. Thats why when you in admin it works.

    I changed other user to admin and same problem I never installed the game before and it worked find even under other users with limited accounts this problem just came up all of a sudden. I even ran regcleaner and still same problem. WinXP is getting annoying more problems then what's it worth.

    Just install GTA2 into a shared folder using an administrator account so everyone can use it.
