UPLAY GAME LAUNCHER FAILURE WITH WINDOWS 7

[THEBERBSTER]

Hi SS

You should use a free Registry Cleaner like CCleaner from file hippo after uninstalling SH5 and then reboot your system before reinstalling.

I have amended my tutorial post #70 so I have made it easy for you and others now to use.

When you have reinstalled your game.

Go to the

Ubisoft folder

Silent Hunter 5 folder

Look for the ‘SH5.exe application icon.’

This is the round one with the picture.

Click on it once without opening it.

With your mouse now right click on it.

From the selection press ‘run as administrator.’

Click on it once again without opening it.

With your mouse now right click on it.

Look down the list and select ‘Pin to Taskbar’

Now exit using the red X

Now on your main drive probably showing as ‘System C’ look for the ‘program files (x86) folder.’

Double click on it to open it or right click with your mouse and select open.

Now look for the ‘Ubisoft folder’ and open it.

You will now see the ‘Ubisoft Game Launcher’ folder.

Double click on it to open it or right click with your mouse and select open.

Look for the first icon with a U picture on it.

This is the ‘Ubisoft Game Launcher icon’ .exe application that launches Uplay.

There are 2 of them but you only want the first one.

Click on it once without opening it.

With your mouse now right click on it.

From the selection press ‘run as administrator.’

Now exit using the red X

Now back on your desktop.

Click on the SH5 icon in your task bar to open SH5
