Zoo Tycoon Help

[dmartin]

HI there,
My nieces just got Zoo Tycoon for their Mac, We tried to installl it by doing the drag and drop to the hard drive like it said, but when we click on the Zoo tycoon folder we can get in there, but when we click on the Zoo Tycoon Icon it says.... Zoo Tycoon can not be played from a locked or write protected volume, You may want to re-installed Zoo Tycoon on a unlocked Volume.........

I am not a Mac user and well my nieces and sister, dont know much about computers, So I am hoping someone here can give me a hand and help me install this....Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Hi there Deidre,

you need to right click or ctrl click the folder that ZC installed into and Get Info then go to the checkbox for locked and click to clear it. Then it should work.

When I tried the lock isn't highlited so I can't click on it? I made sure I was logged in as the same person that installed it and everything... any other ideas???

OK,

make sure the account is an Administrators account firstly, then get info again and if that still says it's not locked, then look at the read/write priviliges and make sure that the user is the owner
with read & write in those settings.

Otherwise it could be an install problem, I would need to know by what means it was installed and what step by step actions were taken.
