Also for the Fellow who suggested I install into it's own directory That was done to begin with, the issue lay in administrator rights functionality.

I run Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit OS, loaded game into C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5... and it runs fine. Though I can't wait for a patch that, amoung other things, contains a manual that explains all the possible commands and how to enable that action.
