simon07 Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 .... then nothing happens... I tried to launch the game tonight and then nothing at all happens, just stays on my desk top screen. When I go click to lauch football manager again the message "football manager is already running" although it isn't! :confused: Does anybody have any idea what could be wrong?

slipknot67 Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 I had this happen to me a while ago and restarting my pc sorted it, I may just have got lucky though but might be worth trying (if you havn't already). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter-evo Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Has this only just started happening or have you never been able to open FM09? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon07 Posted March 22, 2009 Author Share Posted March 22, 2009 Only just started happening... Have happily been playing football manager since the day it came out! But today... nothing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

simon07 Posted March 22, 2009 Author Share Posted March 22, 2009 Well when I first went to play the game it did nothing after 5 minutes or so So I thought maybe I haven't double clicked, so I double clicked and then it said "football manager is already running" but it wasn't! So I tried again a few times and nothing! Tried reset comp laptop and nothing, turned laptop completly off and nothing! Tired uninstall and reinstall 3 times now and still same situation!!

peter-evo Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Okay, I am completely stumped. Try: CTRL - ALT - DELETE -> processes -> FM09.exe -> End process. Then try and load up FM09 again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon07 Posted March 22, 2009 Author Share Posted March 22, 2009 Same again It allows me to click on football manager, then nothing happens...... Wait a little while click on football manager again and "football manaer is already running" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get the DB 9.1.0 error, it is because you do not have the 9.1.0 database on your system and you will have to find a place to download it. If you have any other problems, PM me and I will answer tomorrow morning. A lad of 14 needs more sleep than this Night. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
