my game keeps saying please login with administrator privileges and try again

[geobuild]

Just bought a game. It is successfully in my game area on Origin, but I cannot open it - there is a dialogue box with "Please log in with Administrator privileges and try again". I HAVE NOOOOOOO IDEA what this means and the game (which I've just bought) won't play until I work it out. Running a Sony PC.

Which game is this related to? This is an error message that usually pops up when trying to run an older game on a newer version of Windows.

In the meantime, make sure that you actually run the game as administrator.

I have this issue for Sim City 4, any ideas on how to fix it? I've tried the solutions proposed, and they didn't do anything
