Hi Zeus, welcome to the forums.

Firstly, is your account a Standard user account or an administrator account? (standard user has limited privileges)

Go to Control Panel\Classic Menu\User Accounts to check.

With the my computer icon, in the Start menu, have you tried right-clicking on Computer and selecting 'Show on Desktop'?

As for RE4, try running the game as an administrator. Right-click on the RE4 icon, select Properties>Compatibility and tick the Run this Program as Administrator box.

Good Luck
