Default Vista- Midtown Madness 2 help

I recently turned on parental controls on my son's desktop so that I can control his internet activity. Now he can't play mm2. The splash screen pops up and the game shuts itself off. If I go to my desktop (administrator enabled), the game works fine. I have went to the parental control panel and set it to allow this game to play but it still doesn't. Any ideas will be appreciated.

If you turn the parental controls off, does it still stop? You might have to run the program with administrator rights to get past it (in his account).

Can you explain the process. Is it possible to apply admin rights to game on a limited desktop.

Right click the exe for the game and go down to properties. Now click the compatability tab and towards the bottom there is a box that says "Run this program as an Administrator". Check that and click apply. That should help, if not, just right click the exe and click "Run as administrator."
