If I'm correct you get a nice error 0c0000005 and the game wont start. Reason for this is that the patcher removes the signature from the exe .. it's no longer a signed .exe

For some reason, multiple people have issues loading unsigned .exe's windows wont let them. They all report either home or pro win7.

I have Win7 Ultimate 64 .. no issues here.

It could also be:

- messed up system, try reinstall if you have multiple reasons to think it could use a reinstall or if all else fails. Tho dont expect too much from it.
- messed up registry .. you could try a regcleaner, but I would recommend a reinstall in that case .. most often a messed up registry is an effect, not a cause. Cleaning it thus only a temporary fix.
- strict security software that scans for changes in executables and then denies access.
- Windows DEP .. tho unless you turned it on for all files manually, it should not guard sh5.exe


I haven tried installing Win7 Pro myself .. and I dont have a spare machine to test .. so I cant try to reproduce it easily atm .. perhaps I'll try it with vmware .. altho I doubt that would give reliable results as I wont be able to start sh5 anyway under vmware, but perhaps I will get the error before it warns me about the system not being able to run sh5 :p
