would love to know your PC specs, as mine is 2 years old (ok I've upgraded the cpu to quad 3Ghz) but its only got an ati HD4800 graphics card and running win7 64bit with 6Gb ram and runs SH5 very well, all spec turned up and at 1920x1200 res?

Just been on SH5, from clicking the short cut link on my desk top to being in the sub on a saved game was under 3 mins, so not sure why yours is taking 10 mins?

what is this kick ass pc you speak off?

Ok...then i've got a problem!...I've upgraded to a quad 3,2 with 8 gig ram and a geforce 9500 GT with 1 gig onboard..Win 7 ultimate 64 bit SP1..

I know SH3 and 4 dont' like being installed to the (86) program directory but i was able to do something about that..SH5 though didn't give me the option of installing to a directory of my choosing..I don't know if that could be an issue.

Also the computer is freshly(ish) formatted with hardly anything on it..No driver problems or interprogram conflicts or anything like that....unless SH5 has a problem with 3 or 4! which incidently both run extreemly well...

But you'd be surprised how much asking for help here will do for you, rather than moaning because 5 isn't 3.

Your'e probably right...i should maybe have contained my initial dissapointment instead of simply reacting....always easier to say after the flow of "dissapointment hormones" have left the body....i was just miffed and raggled..

No worries mate, we all do it sometimes! Where is SH5 installing when you install it? For me it's just C/ubisoft/silent hunter 5 and it did that straight off the disc install without me deliberately choosing it. If it's not there that could be part of the problem.

Try a full uninstall and reinstall. When you first load it after your fresh install, it should auto-update to the latest version. It often appears to hang after the patch installs - don't hit the 'Quit' button, just wait - make a cup of tea if you have to - and let it return to the launcher screen (with the ubi online stuff and 'Play' button) on its own. Is this what you meant about taking ten minutes to start after downloading the update? If so, yeah it is annoying, but quitting out early caused me no end of trouble so be patient and let it do its thing

Also - have you installed any mods? And if the answer is yes, did you install them without playing the tutorial first?

We'll get you seaworthy

well sorry to say but your Graphics card is just a budget one, not kiss ass at all, and therein lies your problem.
