Hi hawkza, the only way to open the tools in windows 7 is to run the game in windowed mode.

If you edit the main.cfg file is your documents folder
e.g. C:\Users\[User name]\Documents\SH5\data\cfg\main.cfg

And change the following lines from:
Code:
[VIDEO]
AntialiasingLevel=0 ; 0=none, 1=non-maskable, 2=2x, 4=4x, ...
Resolution=1440,900,60,22; 
FullScreen=Yes
Synchronized=Yes
 
[DEVELOPING]
Modding=No
MenuEditor=NO
DebugScripts=No
To:
Code:
[VIDEO]
AntialiasingLevel=0 ; 0=none, 1=non-maskable, 2=2x, 4=4x, ...
Resolution=1360,768,60,22;
FullScreen=No
Synchronized=Yes
 
[DEVELOPING]
Modding=Yes
MenuEditor=Yes
DebugScripts=Yes
Note the resolutions shown above are what I use, but as long as the changed resolution is a level below max resolution it will run in windowed mode.

That will allow you to access the game and script editors ingame.

Run the game and when loaded, right click the menu bar to access the modders menu.
Then select any of the tools like Terrain Editor, Script Editor, AI Editor etc.
