OK I figured it out, In order to run SH 5 on windows 7 you must trick it into thinking that the PC is running in Windows XP Service Pack 2 Mode. Then you must make certain that you are running the program as an administrator or it won't load up and play. Only took me 2 day's to realize this. And several installs. Also for the Fellow who suggested I install into it's own directory That was done to begin with, the issue lay in administrator rights functionality. So for those of you who have Windows 7 or Vista try allowing yourself administrator rights to make the game work.
