Strange problem, Ive installed Crysis but when I try to play the game this message comes up :

"Windows cannot access the specific device,path or file. You may not have the appropriate permission to access this item.

But the thing is there is only 1 use account ... and its Admin on my PC ( Vista ).

Anyone encountered this before?

Cheers.

Right click on the Crysis shortcut.

Left click on properties and click on compatibility.

Click on "Run this program as an administrator". Close the window then start the game.

Thanks, but 2 more problems have occured now :S.

1) I cant run the 64bit version, it loads up ... goes blank ... then closes.

2) On the 32bit version the mouse detection isnt working , for example the mouse on screen can only move on the right half of the screen, but the mouse picture isnt accurate because you can highlight and click the menu buttons on the left side ... but then ... you can click the right half ...

Weirdest bugs ever, from such a big title aswell I'm shocked.

Thanks but again those solutions do not work, I can run the 32 bit version, but my mouse only reads 2/3s of the screen :S

change the resolution on your desk top to 1024/768 then load the game... set the resolution to what ever you had your desk top before, hit apply.. then quit t he game , change your resolution back to what you like... load the game and every thing should be fine...
