when i try and start it up it opens up a box which says the command prompt has been disabled by your administrator? is this because of the game or is it my messed up pc?

Your PC has its command prompt disabled. You need to fix that on your computer using an admin account.

#2: Registry fix...

No warranty with this... I just googled the error you mentioned.

Here you go - looks like a legitimate fix.

Please don't mess with your registry if you don't know how. Have a techie friend or geeky person take care of it for you. :)

Hope it helps.

BTW - you don't have to do all three methods; just pick the one you like. I'd say if Method 1 works, that's obviously the easiest, even for someone who doesn't know their way around :)

Cheers!

That solution will most likely not work djRobbieF.. sounds like he is trying to play at a school LAN or other place with restricted PC access.. which would mean access to the Run dialog would be blocked also..

Here is a solution:
Copy the contents of the /bin directory into the main Sauerbraten directory. Then right click Sauerbraten.exe and create a shortcut to it. Edit the shortcut target to something like this, the command line options:

"F:\Program Files\Sauerbraten\sauerbraten.exe" -w1024 -h768 -f3

Not sure if it will bypass the command prompt.. but it should work.

Oh, I was under the impression that this was on his OWN computer. Not something I'd want to be caught doing at school :) lol.

Yes, running the executable directly would work. Even without the command arguments (you can set your resolution once the game loads from the menu).
