      is this dialogue box a client thing or a windows thing, because I can't find any other program that does this to find a solution? just to be sure I am talking about this:

            @mach did you try to delete FAForever folder from programdata?
            (or can move it if you care about content of it, like replays or custom strategic icons)

                I store all data on disk D, so I succeeded on the pressing-the-OK-button step.

                  Make sure to rightclick the shortcut (what you double click) and make sure the admin option is disabled:

                      Ok then pls also check this one:

                      If that does not help then i would say your windows or FAF install has been fiddled with by some third party program (any "Tuning" programs or similar running?) in a bad way.

                          Well, either your security permissions are messed up, or you have third party software messing something up.

                          On a default windows installation your applications never run as admin unless the app itself is reqeusting admin rights, which the FAF client does not do.
