Hi guys.
This one is fustrating me to the point of nigh-on violence.
I recently got the game 'Prototype' and was genuinely exciteted to play it as I had seen some pretty awesome stuff in the various trailers.
I know this is going to sound really stupid but im out of options that i can think of.
First of I think its has to be stated that I am over 18, I can buy this game legally (and have done so), therefore why is it when I try to play this game it keeps telling me that I cannot access games with this restriction on parental controls
I am running Windows Vista 32-bit as a Administrator, which to my knowledge and according to the computer itself, has no Age restrictions placed on it.
At no point aside from Registration has Steam asked me my age and that alone should prove my age but apparently not.
I spent the last few hours downloading this game and I cant play it due to a absolutly silly reason like this.
I have never had any issues like this before, I have restarted my PC and frankly Im very angered at this, I was looking forward to playing this game...
I have attempted 'Run as Administrator' on both the Steam link and the Application I found in the steamapps under 'prototypef' I have created a seperate account with unlocked access to all ages and still it doesent work with the same reason 'Parental Restrictions'
As far as I am aware, Parental Control does not have any effect and according to my computer, is not active in anyway on my primary account (Administrator) my secondary account I set up to test (aptly named Prototype) at first had no Parental control either, the next time I set it up with allowances for all games. And still the same warning appeared.
However, this does not mean I have given up on Disabling the Parental Controls, but all signs point to the fact that according to Vista, on the administrator account, parental controls are infact disabled by default.
I have since gotten a second copy (this time not over steam) and the same happens. I have no idea whats going on.
