Well, first off, let me thank every single person who has responded and who will respond. To the only three that has responded, I have learned a few things about games, so since I usually game I keep the firewall off during gaming (I'm glad it worked for you), secondly, I am the administrator, I went to it so excited thinking that could be the key and then I became saddened when (rofl) it wasn't the issue. Okay, sooooo to the last two that directed me into the compatibility, it showed it as using "windows xp service pack 2" (the only one available that said windows xp), so I went ahead and did it again and pressed "apply". However, I am not going to get my hopes set to high, since I am already the Administrator and my firewall I have down, and it already said it was at windows xp service pack 2. However, maybe me going and double checking everything, and reclicking everything will trigger something... so here's to trying. Goodluck to me! whoo hoo! Thank you all once again!
