Try right clicking it and click on "Run as Administrator". Otherwise it may be a problem with your system not meeting requirements, check the system requirements to see if your computer is compatible.

RIGHT CLICK RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR...

I had the same problem and it runs if I run it as administrator, but do I have to do that every time I play the game? Can't I just bring up the launcer and click on play? Also, do I have to log in every time I play the game?

What if 'run as administrator' doesn't appear. I only get copy.

benitoBB · 04/01/2011, 10:15 pm

I'm having the same issue, and run as administrator option doesn't show up. I tried finding the file, but only the setup file shows up in my downloads. Not too savvy on tech issues, so any help would be great.

Are there other users on your system? You must MAKE SURE you are administrator to use admin mode.

I'm the only user on my system. I'm using Vista as well. I've tried running it from the "games" folder in the start menu too, and I can't seem to find any way around this. Seems like a few people are dealing with this. It ran fine when I played for a few minutes right after I downloaded it.

I can confirm that right-clicking the desktop shortcut and selecting "Run as administrator" helps. It seems some of you are right-clicking the "Play"-button after you've started the application, but that won't help

Guyzooip · 04/02/2011, 09:06 am

Finally got into the episode selection menu thanks to the "run as (admin user)", none of the buttons do anything though, the "Play!" button included.

Hello

I just downloaded the free first episode, but in the start up
window I click play and nothing happens, is this a known issue?

**puzzlebox** · 04/02/2011, 11:06 am

Hi Firestoker, it is indeed a known issue... try right-clicking the desktop shortcut icon and selecting "Run as administrator".

I have to reinstall an episode and select to play it when the installation is finished in order to play the episode.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

SchlauFuchs · 04/03/2011, 03:28 am

Hello,

In the start menu of BTTF the "Play" button doesn't react on pressing. Tried this multiple times and restarted that window, too. I am logged in as my user name is shown top right. What to do now?

Cheers,
Kai

Really? Requiring people to run the game as an administrator? What is this, 2001?
