    I am trying to install PokerStars on the computer at college, but it wont let me save it to the progam files directory.
    Its windows 2000 professional.
    I dont really know what im doing so if anyone could point me in the right direction or tell me how to get around the system id be grateful.

    Is it a college computer? If so program installation is probably blocked

    YES but,
    it's academic because if you did install it, you would get caught and you would not be allowed to use college computers afterwards, or maybe even the college

    consider that the fines for dodgy software are in the order of €127,000 and you a feel how much they like people to install any software on their PC's

    In other words

    NO !

    Would you like someone installing crap on your PC without your permission?
