Hi kim
It would appear that you have a clash going on between different versions.

Go to the control panels program and features and Unistall Silent Hunter 5 and accept the prompt to delete saved games.
Also next Uninstall the Ubisoft Game Launcher.

Go to C:\Program files (x86) directory and delete the Ubisoft folder there.

Check your C:\Documents\ and make sure that there is no SH5 folder showing.

You say you have installed SH5 in your C:\Ubisoft folder.
I am assuming the path you used was C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5.

Go to C:\Ubisoft\ and delete the folder that contains your Silent Hunter 5 game.

Now use the registry cleaner.

Reboot your system.

Your cd version is the one to use to install your game.

First go to C:\Ubisoft and make a new folder called Silent Hunter 5.
Use the cd custom installation and this will give you options including where to install your game.

The default installation is C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5
Use the browse button and select C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5
Your game will install to that path.
If you want to install it differently then make the new path and use the browse button to find it.

You will see an error message regarding graphics near the end of the installation which you can ignore.
