Hello,
Doom 3 Free Download Pc
I upgraded my windows 7 to 10 and I installed Doom 3 but when i try to run Doom 3 it says: please login with administrator. I am admin on my pc. Why it doesent work. Same thing on Need for speed carbon. But older games works fine. V 1.3.1: We've tested Doom 3 and Quake 4 to run fine on Windows Vista, provided you have an OpenGL ICD installed (provided by your GPU vendor). Both NVidia and AMD/ATI have released an OpenGL ICD in their latest driver line.
- Doom 3's last patch, version 1.3.1, that adds Windows Vista support and a number of small bugfixes and slight mod-related enhancements. Please note that Doom 3 patch 1.3.1 will not work with mods built for Doom 3 patch 1.3, and vice versa.

Method 1:
I request you to try installing the game in compatibility mode.
Follow these steps to install the game in compatibility mode and check if that helps.
- Download the game from the manufacturer’s website.
- Right-click on the game setup file and click on ‘properties’.
- Click on the ‘compatibility’ tab and check the box ‘Run this program in compatibility mode for’ and select operating system from the drop down menu and proceed with the installation. Once this is done, restart the computer and check if the issue persists.
Method 2:
Uninstall and Reinstall the Graphics Card Drivers.
Step 1: Uninstall the Graphics Card Drivers
- Press “Windows Logo” + “X” keys on the keyboard.
- Click on “Device Manager” from that list.
- Search for the Graphics Card from the device list, right click on it and then select “Uninstall”. On the un-installation window, if you have an option: “Delete the driver software for this device” you may select that and then remove the corrupted drivers from the computer.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to complete it and then restart the computer if prompted.
After the restart, please go ahead with the next steps to install the latest drivers and check if that resolves the issue. https://greatmd438.weebly.com/curious-george-episode-guide.html.
Update Driver Software from the Manufacturer’s website:

Hello,
I managed to install Doom 3 from my old cds onto my windows 10 alienware. Unfortunately, when I hit Play, it says I need to log in with administrator privileges. I AM administrator and have all the privileges except for the 'special privileges' which you cannot change. So I don't know what else to do. This game worked fine on my windows xp. The compatibility troubleshooter shows incompatibility still although game is fully installed thanks to the compatibility wizard. Any suggestions?
So far, I have a beautiful gaming laptop and no success in getting most of my older games to work with windows 10. Very disappointing. I don't know if I want to repurchase the game from Steam. Disappointing.

This patch was the fix I needed to make Doom 3 work with Win7 64bt. It works great for me. Thank you!
Now for a side note for those having resolution problems getting Doom 3 to run at 1920 X 1080 etc. you have to edit the Autoexec.cfg file in the Doom3Base folder.
For example:
set r_mode -1
set r_customWidth 1920
set r_customHeight 1080
set image_lodbias '-1.0'
set image_anisotropy 0
set r_multiSamples 8
set r_aspectRatio 1
set r_customWidth 1920
set r_customHeight 1080
set image_lodbias '-1.0'
set image_anisotropy 0
set r_multiSamples 8
set r_aspectRatio 1
This is the way mine is set up at the moment.. You can alter the multiSamples (AA), and you can alter the anisotropy (AF), if you choose to. The AA right now is set to 8X with these settings, but you can use 0,2,4,8,16? Same goes for AF with the 0,2,4,8,16 I think? I just have it set to 0 for now, but by all means try out 16 if you like. I think it looks pretty good like this anyhow.
Also keep in mind if you want to set up a different resolution, you can sub your own resolution numbers in place of the customHeight/Width, but keep in mind the aspectRatio 1 may need to be changed to a 2 to fit your screen:
aspectRatio 1= 16:9
aspectRatio 1= 16:9
aspectRatio 2= 16:10 (I think?)
Once you've finished tweaking the Autoexec.cfg file, click save of course, and launch Doom3 to check it out. Hopefully everything is working as it should except in my case it still lists the resolution as the lowest possible setting in the game, but I think it's just because there is no preset for 1920 X 1080 listed in the game menu. So don't be alarmed to see that. Just load up the game and it'll be looking good.
I hope this helps all of those who had the same problems I did. It works for me. Give it a try and good luck.
