hursty2 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Right I've done a search on the web and found out that you have to delete some cache files. Below Ok unistall the game again then do the following depending on which operating system you have:How to delete your Cache files Windows XP: 1. Open �My Computer� 2. Navigate to : �Documents and Settings\<Username>\Application Data\ 3. Go into the �Sports Interactive� Folder. 4. Delete the �Football Manager XX� Folder. Wndows Vista: 1. Click �Start� 2. Click your username on the start Menu 3. Click on �AppData� and then �Roaming� 4. Go into the �Sports Interactive� Folder 5. Delete the �Football Manager XX� Folder. Mac OSX 1. Open Finder. 2. Select <User> 3. Navigate to Library\Caches\Sports Interactive 4. Remove the �Football Manager XX� Folder. How to Delete your Registry Files Windows XP: 1. Click �Start� 2. Click "Run" 3. Type in "Regedit" 4. Go into the HKEY_CURRENT_USER Folder 5. Go into the 'Software Folder' 6. Delete the Sports Interactive Folder 7. Go into the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Folder 8. Go into the 'Software Folder' 9. Delete the Sports Interactive Ltd Folder Windows Vista: 1. Click �Start� 2. Type in the search box "Regedit" 3. Go into the HKEY_CURRENT_USER Folder 4. Go into the 'Software Folder' 5. Delete the Sports Interactive Folder 6. Go into the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Folder 7. Go into the 'Software Folder' 8.

adriansfc Posted April 10, 2009 Author Share Posted April 10, 2009 Weird, I reinstalled for the 5th time and now it says this when I try to launch = "The application Football Manager 2009 v 9.0.0 f 23552 quit unexpectedly". Now, I had the patches installed before. I've tried adding then no error message even comes up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hursty2 Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Just a question, is the game legit? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adriansfc Posted April 12, 2009 Author Share Posted April 12, 2009 Just a question, is the game legit? yep. got all the activation codes and stuff. had it running on my old laptop (not mac) but don't have that anymore and bought a mac mini. thought might be an issue deactivating with steam etc., but then, the macs don't even use it or require activation do they.

hursty2 Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 I thought that once a game had neen activated with steam it couldn't be activated with anything else? I'm probably wrong though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thebaker Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Just a question, is the game legit? Mine is and i had the same problem. To the original OP, have you moved your my documents folde rrecently as i think this may have caused mine as the game is looking for a file in the skins folder. Unfortunatly i had to reinstall the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunatly i had to reinstall the game. Not moved it no, but the folders like skins in documents do seem to be empty for some reason. Reinstalled a few times. It's a new computer so I'm not sure where the documents folder is supposed to be. How do you deactivate on steam, just incase that has an effect? My old laptop isn't even online now. Have my username and password though if it can be done through their website. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gradaria Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 People, I have had the same problem, except I know what happened exactly that made the game stop running ... I changed the skin on the game preferences, switched it to one of the defaults, the 2008 skin, but i think that it didn't exist ( not on my hard-drive ) somehow... The problem now is that, no matter how many times i reinstall the game, and clear the registry, it just won't start!! I haven't cleared the cache memory, because I can't really understand what it is and how it works on Windows Vista, so if anyone could help me out on this one, I would appreciate it!
