I am currently under an account on windows xp that does not have admin rights; therefore, i can't install games. One thing students and myself do to get past this is get games from upperclassmen that, they make it so that you do not need the disk to play and also so you can copy the game onto your own computer and play it from their external to your own. I know how to play a game so you don't need the CD, but how do you go about Installing it on the harddrive from my home computer then running on my (no admin rights) labtop.
Ex. I have fable: the lost chapters at home. If i use daemon tools to make a virtual cd, that way i do not have to use the cd, how do i move it from my home comp to my labtop without actually installing it on my labtop, just my external??

I could be wrong but I think what you're asking is a violation of forum rules. At the very least, it's inappropriate to be trying to bypass the admin protection to be able to play games on school computers. Get your own "labtop" & you'll be able to do whatever you want with it.
