Andy_lfc Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 When i try to start a match, the game closes and an error message appears and the game closes. The error message says: XML parsing error! not well formed (invalid token) at line 1 of speed.xml the game will also not load after it as it says fm 2009 is already running, when it isn't. Any suggestions? thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahmufcwafc Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Try either one of these: I can't play the game due to an XML parsing error If you have a shortcut on your desktop you can do the following: Right-click on the FM shortcut. Choose "Properties" from the pop-up menu. In the "Target" field, add the --reset_preferences command line option after "fm.exe", so it should look like this:"C:\Program Files\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2009\fm.exe" --reset_preferences Press OK and then try to run the game as normal, using the shortcut. You'll want to remove the command after you run the game, as otherwise it will continue to reset your preferences every time you launch. If you don't have a shortcut you can make one and then perform the instructions on the shortcut you've made. If you purchased and installed the game through Steam you should be able to find the fm.exe in the following directory:C:/Program Files/Steam/SteamApps/Common/Football Manager 2009/ If you purchased and installed the game from a boxed DVD copy you should be able to find the fm.exe in the following directory:C:/Program Files/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2009/ Other XML Errors First of all you need to turn on hidden files and folders. Go to My Computer and at the top select 'Tools' the 'Folder Options'. The go to the 'View' tab and select 'Show hidden files and folders' Delete the following folder: XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2009\settings Vista: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2009\settings This may solve some issues regarding the XML Errors Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure to be honest. You could always try it out yourself and see what happens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
