Seeing as you couldn't be bothered to post in the correct forum, I suppose you would have missed the giant banner instructing you to read the stickies before opening new topics. So do that.

What does the error msg say? if you cant solve it yourself - copy/paste it here.

Error starting: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'E:\Warhammer Online - Age of Reckoning\WAR.exe' is denied.

Thats the error.

Remove read only on the game folder.

Access was denied to the path or file WAR.exe!

Remove the write-protection (right click the game folder -> properties -> disable read-only) from all the files in the WAR folder and try again. You may also try running the launcher with Administrator privileges.

If you used the torrent to download the game, the torrent application may still be using the files. Either copy the entire WAR folder to a new location (if you wish to continue supporting the torrent), or move the entire WAR folder to another location to break access to the torrent.

Yeah not sure why my son had that on, thanks!

It sometimes happens. Removing read only on the game folder resolves it.
