Success!!!


If you get 0x0000005 error when trying to start the patched .exe, the most likely cause is you running Norton 360 and it not trusting the file anymore.

You are a genius. Too simple. Followed the steps from Norton and game loads with patched exe.
Made file trusted and all is good.
Thank you for helping a pc thicky. Pity I won't enjoy playing too much this weekend as got stuff on and now bedtime.
Thank you again

If you use different security software, look for corresponding procedure, or change product if it doesnt have the option. I recommend Avast cuz it's reasonable lightweight and does a decent job .. all the extra stuff you pay for, you dont really need imho, but some people might prefer some extra security, and it doesnt hurt .. but if you ask me, take the free one and keep it up to date and use common sense.

Checking the trust level of a file

Norton Insight lets you check the reputation details of the Files of Interest that are available on your computer. You can view details such as signature of the file and the date on which the file was installed. You can also view details such as the trust level, stability details, community usage, resource usage, and the source of the file. You can use the Locate option to find the location of the file on your computer. When you right-click a file that is available on your computer, the shortcut menu displays Norton 360 option and then Norton File Insight option. You can use the options to check the details of a File of Interest.
Norton 360 displays the Norton File Insight option only when you right-click a File of Interest. In Windows Safe mode, you cannot access this option for any file. Norton 360 also categorizes any file for which you open the File Insight window to view details as a File of Interest.

The Symantec server stores the hash value and trust level details of the File of Interest. The server provides the file details immediately after you open the Norton Insight window. However, you can use the Check Trust Now option in the File Insight window to update the trust value of a file. You can also manually trust any well-known files. You can change the trust level of any file to User Trusted other than the files that are Norton Trusted.
You can determine the resource usage of a file that is available on your computer. The File Insight window displays the CPU graph and the system resource usage details for the running processes. The graph shows the breakdown of overall system CPU usage and the CPU usage or memory usage by the process.
