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

Hi,
Only had the PC two weeks, fresh install, Running N360. Tried disabling that and running patcher. No effect.
How do you adjust Windows DEP? Don't want to break anything.

EDIT: Tried disabling DEP for SHV exe. still same error?????
Place backup files back in folder and game loads. Stumped.

Willing to try something. Did this error happen on earlier releases of the patcher?
Cheers
