SH & Windows 10 - Page 2

pcohen · 03-13-25, 04:48 AM

Hi everybody again.

Really do not understand this! I have been running SH4 for a few days now. Without any problems.

However, today when attempting to play again the following message Is back again :-

"An administrator has blocked this app. For more information contact the administrator"

I have followed all the Instructions to get this working properly again, so don't understand why It's playing up again!

Any help or suggestions please?

Many thanks

Paul.

Not any help here, but did you just have a windows 10 update? Microsoft updates seem to break stuff.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, I had same problem, tried recently to install disc version on Win 10, got same error. Did manage to get past the red notification, as far as inputting serial but wouldn't accept. TBH, it's not worth the faff, lost most of the weekend fannying about. Fortunately Steam had their version on offer this week for £3:21 inc. uboat missions, got that, runs like a dream.

Hello propbeanie and all the others that have been helping with this,
a little more help please.

I have Mentioned this problem before.

Having managed to get Silent Hunter 4 working I am again back to the stage Where after running It for a few Days, and with no other changes or additions to my Computer since the Installation, I am again getting message "An Administrator has blocked you from running this app Contact the Administrator "

My Computer specifications are as follows:-

WINDOWS 10

AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor 3.59 GHz

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660

PANASONIC 32" TV screen as the Monitor (used for some Yeas now)

Installed memory (RAM) 16.0 GB

System type 64-bit Operating System x64-based processor.

Anymore suggestions please?

Thanks

Paul.

Hello everybody again.

This Is the last time I will Post this subject.

As you can see this Post has been running for some time now.

I don't understand why Silent Hunter 4 Gold Edition "wolves of the Pacific + UBoat Missions"
When Installed Works on my Computer on one occasion and not on another occasion

As said, I recently Purchased a New Hard Drive and consequently had to Install a fresh
Windows 10 Home Edition, the Same edition as previously Installed.

As I have also said Silent hunter has always worked perfectly well for me In the past on this
Computer with the same Windows !0 Installation as previously Installed.

A couple of times recently my computer has gone Into reset mode, meaning a Re-Installation of
my present Games.

I was advised recently to purchase the Steam edition of Silent Hunter 4 but that did not work
either. took forever to get a refund?

I get the Impression that something Is missing/not loaded In SH4 or my Computer, that makes It
work. I have Adobe, Direct X 9C, .Dot Installed but unsure If anything else Is required or If Sh4 has everything Included In It for It to Work.

Many thanks for al your help previously with this.

Paul.

Hello everybody.

I have moved to this Forum due to the Fact, that somewhere this Morning I saw somewhere on the Subsim Forums that somebody has "Silent Hunter III running on Windows 10.

I also have my original Silent Hunter III CD/DVD In my Archives but It will not run on my Windows 10. Am told It requires something from Windows 95.

Sadly, for whatever reason *I have managed to lose my favourite Game/Sim
"silent Hunter 4 Wolves of the Pacific"

If you re-install windows, you must re-install the game, else it does not have the registry entries in Windows that are required to run it...
