Hmm, have you checked if it was Hamachi problem or other like un-patched game? 
Hamachi couldn't be the problem, since it's a computer-to-computer connection using a network cable, therefore no online connection... or so I've heard about what Hamachi consists of 
My and my friend's games are original versions, of the same patches and with no mods.

In my opinion and game experience, since at least one enemy creature accepts the effects of your spell, dark renewall does not act in hand.
Even though some enemies have resistance (Silver Unicorns, for instance) for many mass damage spells, the Dark Renewal ability is not activated, because your spell damaged AT LEAST one other enemy creature.

Disabling the background programs is needed so that all(most) temporary files can be deleted.
If you do it right nothing can go wrong. You can enable the background applications anytime you want the same way you disabled them.

- v1.0 was very rushed (some even said Beta) => bugged game
- patches installed spyware thingy sendstats.exe, which normally could not be deleted
So I`m not surprised it still doesn't want to work, and no real help from Ubisoft.
v1.0 allowed >5 skills (with cheat codes of course).
Now with v1.5 I can`t give my hero more than 5, so restriction if probably in some file, but which one ?

No it didn't. I finished the campaigns on the original 1.0 and max skills were 5 even then.

Obviously these people have not.
Since checking all the Sticky Topic Threads for a proper walkthrough for doing a proper installation of HoMM5-Original upto HoMM5-H.o.F., here's my short version of a walkthrough:
1. After purchasing both HoMM5-Original and HoMM5-Hammers of Faith(expansion), check both backs of boxes for the Recommended specs for a proper installation and play of both versions.
2. Insert disk 1 of HoMM5-Original version 1.0 into rather your CD-ROM drive or, DVD RW drive. Follow the installation requests from the installation Wizard.
3. After all the installation of HoMM5 v.1.0 is completed, go online to Ubi.com and download the patch file 1.4(Only)to your BIN sub-folder of the main Folder of Heroes of Might and Magic 5 of the primary Ubisoft Folder. Click that file twice in order to initiate the installation of the patch.
4. Once patch 1.4(Only) is installed, use the new 'Check for Updates' feature for downloading automatically patch 1.5 and gets to install itself as well. Repeat the same procedure for patch 1.6. Now, do not start a game just yet. Clean Disk your Hard-Drive and, Defrag Disk right-a-way. This will prepare your Hard-Drive for the Expansion's installation of Hammers of Fate version 2.0.
5. Now that the Hard-Drive maintenance is fully done. Insert the disk 1 of HoMM5-Hammers of Fate-Expansion version 2.0 in your optical drive and, follow the requests of the installation wizard. Use the 'Check for Updates' link for auto. download and installation of Patch 2.1. Clean Disk and Defrag Disk again.
6. It is now, highly recommended that you finish all of your campaigns before installing HoMM5-Tribes of East version 3.0. Then, you can install HoMM5-Tribes of the East v.3.0 anytime you feel like doing so.
Since, there are no patches available yet for it. Well, it is not officially announced just yet.
Note: You no longer need to download patches 1.1, 1.2 and, 1.3. Only Patch 1.4 is, now, required for the two other patches to be applied successfully.

One defragment after installing all the games should be enough imo.

No, just as long as you no longer see any huge red bars in the status bar of the WinXP's Defragmenter program.
You may make a joke out of this but, it really happened to me that, I really had to do it about 4 to 6 times in a row every weekend of every week in order to have a proper defragmented Hard-Drive. Seriously, upto 24 times a month. This is not a joke and, truly not funny at all.
Now, onto Vista, I currently have two(2) automated defragmenter programs running into its background, about three(3)anti-spyware detectors/cleaners and, about two(2)registry cleaner/fixer programs.
Enjoy the extremely faulty programming of today's developers.

It is a joke, because you don't NEED to defragment your hard drive that many times a month. Experts say that only ONE time a month should do the trick, not 24.

You do not do that at all. That is what you do BEFORE buying the game. Why would you buy a game, only to later check the requirements and see that it doesn't work?

Guess what ? I was right, again:
First mission H(e)aven, added only basic magic skills:
[URL=http://img176.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=67766_skill_list_122_162lo.jpg] [/URL]
But look at that, Logistics from out of nowhere:
[URL=http://img245.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=67769_more5skills_122_440lo.jpg] [/URL]
But maybe it`s not working ? Guess again:
[URL=http://img206.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=67770_scouting_from_nowhere_122_151lo.jpg] [/URL]
Tactics ? Yes:
[URL=http://img229.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=67777_tactics_from_nowhere_122_533lo.jpg] [/URL]
And how abut some skills from other towns ? No problem:
[URL=http://img11.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=67771_urgashs_call_122_1027lo.jpg] [/URL]
Working ? Yes:
[URL=http://img183.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=67779_urgash_call_in_action_122_417lo.jpg] [/URL]
And I still have only basic magic skills + Leadership. It`s magic:
[URL=http://img217.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=67796_skill_list_2_122_580lo.jpg] [/URL]
[URL=http://img192.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=67797_skill_list_3_122_535lo.jpg] [/URL]
[URL=http://img185.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=68937_more5skills_10_122_514lo.jpg] [/URL]
Since you all wore 100% sure it`s not possible, I doubt you know what to change to make it work in > 1.0. But maybe someone knows a good modding site ?

About questions,i hope i can ask here a question.
Like i read on site of heroes 5 it said that markal look for revenge,want to kill cirus cause he kiled Sandro his master.Is this Sandro the hero from the H3?.I know in h4 said the world of H3 was destroyed by the fight between gelu and kilgor(that 2 degerous baldes armaggeddon and frost),and i realy cant belive that gelu could do such a think,he wasnt a bad man;story of h4 is not clear for me,for me was just some maps to play,whichs had nothing with the destrotion of world of H3,or making conection with H5.About histroy at necro race,from H5 site i realy didnt udnerstood anything.And the big question : what land is this from H5?
And more questions(i apologize for my stupidity):Is this Sandro the Sandro from H3?Have h3 or h4 any conection with h5?who can tell me the real story or who can give me a site to read the hole story?(i realy want to know that story )

Heroes V has nothing to do with previous stories. It's a total reboot of the storyline with just a little name dropping for some reason.
