"An Administrator has blocked you from runnung this app Contact the Administrator"

I thought I had always been the Administrator!!!

Whatever happened to putting the CD Into the computer and playing the Game?

Thanks

Paul.

Is It possible to have a Windows 10 Operating System with my own Games
Without any Administrator Problems please?

Thanks

well, paul, i can understand your frustration.
the answer is yes.

i've taken screenshots of my SH4-Stock version of the launch-shortcut and saved them in a Wordpad file for you to review.

my version of SH4 seems to be the same as yours: Ver 1.5 from the Silent Hunter 4 - Gold Edition with Uboat. DVD.

i hope this helps.

Hello everybody, and thanks for all your replies.

Re-Silent Hunter 4.

I had this Working Yesterday although omly for a couple of Minutes

Crashed and Burned but thats another story.

However, when trying to play again Today, I get the following message again :- "An administrator has blocked this app. For more information contact the administrator"

Can anybody please help with the correct Lines to Install so I don't continue going round In circles so I can save It to Disk and don't have this problem again In the future.

Many thanks

Paul.

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.

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"
