It shouldn't need Admin Rights...
But it won't run in Windowed mode. The game code is old, and was never written to do the "window" thing.

I have a 2 gig cruzer flash drive. I'm pretty sure that you could load the entire game and the CD (it has an emulator) onto one and run it from a USB port. They run about $15.

No. A "flash drive" is a USB device that is a portable hard drive, basically. A 2Gig one will hold the entire game and allow you to play it, without having to install it on the main PC.

Code behind WinSPMBT is older and it has been modified to do the "window" thing [;)]
You know what they say, don't you? About how us MechWarriors are the modern knights, how warfare has become civilized now that we have to abide by conventions and rules of war. Don't believe it.

Older by 2 years. And only through an almost complete rewrite of the code were they able to make it run in a "window". Besides the point, that's a different group responsible, and has no affiliation with Matrix. Anyone interested in the SPMBT game can go to Shrapnel Games, the host company for that version.
