Is there any way to play Crossfire on Windows 7 without an admin account?
Is there any way to get the game to run when using Windows Live Family Safety?

One should only need Admin access to install the client, but after that any user should be able to launch the client and connect to the available servers.

I'm not clear how Windows Life Family Safety is blocking the game, since this service has to do with website access, email and IM services, et al.
Have any more details or information on this?

It is possible that the GTK Windows client tries to store image cache into a subdirectory of its installation directory, in which case (since it is probably Program Files) there will be issues if it isn't using an admin account.
Workaround is to install to a folder into which the player has access, like a subfolder of "My documents".
I'm not sure whether JXClient (the Java client) has such behaviour.

It says x-trap needs an admin account and it won't run.

After clicking Start Game it tries to run the patcher but nothing happens, if I try again it says it is already running, I have to shut it down in Task Manager.
I tried installing it in my documents, that didn't work either.

What is x-trap?

What patcher?
What client are you using? GTK?
