Two Questions: #1 Router Brands and #2 Limited XP Account Issue
#1: If I have a Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router, do I need another linksys receiver if I were to get one for my PS2, or does it run on the same frequency that I could get, say, Motorola, or any other brand, and it'll work with the router? I'm thinking setup might be easier if I got a Linksys, but I'm not sure.
#2: Is there any sort of restrictions with playing games, such as The Sims, on a limited Windows XP user account? My sister just discovered that *oh no* she can't make systemwide changes to the computer! Is this a legit argument, or is she just trying to pry her way into getting an administrative account? I see no reason for my thirteen year old downloading maniac sister to have an admin account. No reason at all. Any ideas?

She quit out of the program, and my mom just logged on to make her an admin... and I got the nastiest "foiled again!" grin from her.. but she didn't give me any specific error message, she just said that it says "Did not save." Anything points I can convey to get her back to limited, if she shouldn't be having problems? My mom keeps letting her change it back, since she doesn't quite know the difference between the two account types.

I would love to, but she's not letting me touch the CDs. "You don't need them!" I'm sick and tired of cleaning the computer every week because she HAS TO BE an admin to download spyware and malware amuss.... I swear, if she sees a toolbar ad, she downloads it, there was probably 14 different ones on there.
"You know nothing about computers!!!!" and "You're not supposed to be on this computer!" are her only retorts... and I try to explain to my mom, and she just lets my sister be an admin, to shut her up, which isn't needed at all...
I tried to get the CD from her, and now my whole family's gone against me, so to sum it up, I think I'll be figuring this problem out some other time, when they're not all pissed off. (They're Yankee fans. I am the lone Sox fan. Maybe that has to do with something, I don't know.)
In the meantime, anybody else have any experience with that "saving" problem?

Hm, not a bad idea. Might prove useful. But for now, she's not getting The Sims back... and we own two copies because she effed with the registry on one of them, and I guess buying another copy would "fix it", or so my family thinks.
I don't know...you'd either have to try really hard, or be really dumb.
There shouldn't be any problem with playing games on a limited account -- you can't install on a limited account but there is NO problem in playing/saving the Sims on a limited account, my sister does it all the time. She's just BSing your mom into giving her an admin account.
