Win2000 + Half-Life = Problem for me!

    I have a small problem it's not really a problem just annoying! In the Café I work in there are users set up. "internet" is the standard user can browse the web use Microsoft Office, Download, Print but "can't install stuff"*. There is then an Administrator User. I installed Half-Life under "ADministrator" and can't get Half-Life to run under "Internet". When you run the program the HDD light flickers and then nothing! I have changed the permissions to "Full Control" for the internet user in the Sierra Folder and all the files in there too but I still get the same problem. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    "can't install stuff"* Reason: So if they Download app's they can't install em, to prevent cluttering up of the Hard Drive, and previous problems where people installed drivers they downloaded causing lots of work for me!

    it sounds like the Admin account is setup to only alow it to use programs that it installs.
