I have downloaded the installer, installed and then when I go to launch the launcher for the first time, it lets me log in then it starts patching, I think, then it closes and pops up a small box that says "Process not elevated." Can you help me figure out whats wrong_ Thanks! All help is appreciated!

Right-click and run as administrator.  This happens if the UAC settings have been messed with.  If you don't have the administrator option, then click start button and type "UAC" and you will get one result.  Click on it and move the level until you get the default option, then click apply.  If this fails then your administrator account has been messed with.

If you are running XP then you are either a standard user or your administrative account has been messed with.


IF the above failed, you can try uninstalling Hawken and reinstalling into a folder like C:/Hawken....do not use the default "program files" location.

That's all the ideas I can think of right now :/
