Do you mean that everything works fine until you try using TDW's patcher? :hmm2:

Yes, all is good when I try to run the game without having used TDW's patcher.

I guess it's due to the verification of digital signatures.. I always disable such services and all is well.. so far..

Thanks for your input Volodya61 :up:, the problem is I don't know how to disable those services. I read the article on Technet but I don't have the secpol.msc snap-in on my version of Win 7 (I'm running Home Premium not Enterprise or Pro). Any advice?

The error is also thrown by the OS, not by SH5.

I think so too .. that's why I posted that article from technet a bit back.

Thanks PLJ, the article made for some interesting reading and helped my understanding of the potential problem. I however don't have the secpol.msc snap-in when I search for it - I think it might be due to me running Win 7 Home Premium..? Is there maybe another solution?

PS: My Application Identity service is set as a manual startup item in Component Services (Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Administrative Tools) and is not currently running. Is this the same as having AppLocker disabled?

I'm not completely sure. Can you start 'mmc' ? (start => run) From there you can press File => Add/Remove snap-in.
You could search for security policy snap in the list there. I'm not sure what they stripped from home-premium compared to ultimate (what I'm running)

Is this applicable ? http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2688326

Anybody else having this issue reading this topic ? What version of Windoze do you use ?

No worries, it's so chilled - after all; I'm not going anywhere. I'll check it out :know:

I tried the Microsoft link and applied the fix - but afterwards I couldn't run ANY .exe file (including regedit.exe :dead: I managed to sort that out eventually, phew) - I still have the same initial error appearing.

I checked the difference between the patched and vanilla SH5.exe and the patched one has no digital signature whatsoever so you're definitely correct on that being the gremlin PLJ.

What would be interesting is if this issue is restricted to those NOT running win7 Ultimate or Enterprise (i.e. cannot run secpol.msc) ..? :hmmm:

it has nothing to do with that snap-in. that's just a tool to configure policies.

I wish I could reproduce the error :/

I might be misunderstanding you PLJ; the "link to web address" snap-in isn't highlighted for any particular reason. Is there anything in my list that might do the trick?

Is anyone reading this thread having the same issue running SH5 after using TDW's Patcher? What version of windows are you running?

Could someone having the 0xc0000005 error test with IE8 opened to whatever page ? I read a few comments on some topics dealing with this issue, that for older programs giving this error, opening IE8 and keeping it open and THEN running the .exe, solves is.

Afaik, this should not be the case, but it's worth testing I suppose...
