ADMINISTRATOR PERMISSION Please?

pcohen · 10-16-23, 09:52 AM

Hello everybody, Need some help please?

I have had Two Version Of Silent Hunter for years now:-

1. Silent Hunter 4 Wolves of the Pacific.

2. Silent Hunter 4 Wolves of the Pacific GOLD EDITION with the UBoat Missions.

Both worked when I had Windows XP and Windows 7 and have both worked In

Windows 10 until I recently upgraded to a newer Version of Windows 10.

Can somebody please help with the "Administrator Permisions" I am having.

Message:- "An Administrator has Blocked you from Running this App."

Is there a set Menu to get this working.

Either or Working would be a Bonus.

any help or suggestions Please?

Many thanks

Paul.

paul,

the message you are receiving is due to the fact that your username on your PC is NOT an administrator.
so, two ways to cure this:

login to your PC with your admin username, go to Change User Account Control, then change your game-playing username to have Admin priviledge,

or

you can use the Admin username to play the game.

there is a third way but it is similar to the two above. Right-click on SH4 and select Run as Administrator. Every time you want to play.

p.s. Play Silent Hunter 4 Wolves of the Pacific GOLD EDITION with the UBoat Missions. the lion's share of the mods require this version.

Hi, sorry (Don't know your Name) many thanks for the Reply.

No matter what i Do with this I am still getting the Red Box telling me I still need "Administrator Permissions"

However, I have resolved the problem by Cheating.

I have Two Desktop Computers, So this morning I re-booted the Old Computer and Installed "Silent Hunter 4 Gold Edition" Because I Know It worked on this Old Computer.

Having made sure It was still working I then Copied The Silent Hunter Folder From Drive C: onto an Eternal Hard Drive and then copied the Folder Into Drive C: on my Not so New Computer. And it works a treat.

Not very conventional I know, but It worked!!!

Many thanks for the help.

Hi everybody

Unfortunately this Cheat did not work after all, only worked Once.

Now I am at the stage where the Silent Hunter shortcut only opens to the Desktop to the SH4.exe box, but when clicking "Yes" crashes back to the Desktop.

any more help or suggestions Please?

Many thanks

Paul.

С помощью редактора реестра
Это — вариант предыдущего способа, но для Windows 10 Домашняя, где не предусмотрен редактор локальной групповой политики.

Нажмите клавиши Win+R на клавиатуре и введите regedit
В редакторе реестра перейдите к разделу HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\ Microsoft\ Windows\ CurrentVersion\ Policies\ System .................................................. .......................Дважды нажмите по параметру EnableLUA в правой части редактора реестра и задайте для него значение 0 (ноль). Нажмите Ок, закройте редактор реестра и перезагрузите компьютер.
Готово, после этого приложение, вероятнее всего запустится. Однако, ваш компьютер будет под угрозой, и я настоятельно рекомендую вернуть значение EnableLUA в 1, как было до изменений
