grahamf Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I tried to boot up FM for the first time in a week or so and nothing happened so I tried again and got a message saying it was already running. So I checked on task manager and it was on the list of programmes but still no tab on windows, nothing. Any ideas? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

grahamf Posted April 17, 2009 Author Share Posted April 17, 2009 Reinstalled twice now, both times after the install it has said that major errors occured and to check the log. The failiures says- Install File: C:\Program Files\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2009\data\sigfx\meshes\pitch\textures\snowy\very good\pitch_top_left.dds Status: ERROR Additional Notes: ERROR - ZeroGpl: ZIP_Read: error reading zip file Install Directory: C:\Program Files\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2009\data\ Status: FATAL ERROR Additional Notes: FATAL ERROR - Error Installing Folder Contents: java.util.zip.ZipException: ZIP_Read: error reading zip file Custom Action: com.sigames.InstallAnywhere.WindowsGameExplorer Status: ERROR Additional Notes: ERROR - class com.sigames.InstallAnywhere.WindowsGameExplorer NonfatalInstallException RegisterWithGameExplorer() failed: Failed to add game to Game Explorer It did reactivate using the file called runme that you can download from one of the threads after a long wait, but the same problem still happens.

hamilton162 Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 No idea what that means :confused: Have you looked in the thread i suggested? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamf Posted April 17, 2009 Author Share Posted April 17, 2009 I looked there before you suggested them to be honest, I have a feeling this might be related to the activation issue that doesn't seem to have been resolved, whilst trying to reactivate I've recieved the -871 error and 0-0 error I think it was then using the other activation device you can download from one of the threads I eventually managed to get it reactivated successfully only for the same issue to keep on happening.

grahamf Posted April 19, 2009 Author Share Posted April 19, 2009 I'm really confused now, I tried a couple of things to see if it would help and then tried to run FM again. Same result nothing happened and about 5 minutes later FM started running and got the usual loading screens, but before the main menu appeared the windows pop up appeared saying FM2009 has stopped working.

grahamf Posted April 19, 2009 Author Share Posted April 19, 2009 Try updating your Java. According to the SUN website its up to date, I've contacted Sega so I guess I just need to wait and if they can help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neji Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 I'm not sure what to suggest then. It looks like the installer is failing to extract files, logically I would suggest a manual install but the installer is cryptic to me so I can't see a way to do it.

It looks like the installer is failing to extract files, logically I would suggest a manual install but the installer is cryptic to me so I can't see a way to do it. No worries, thanks for the help. I'm puzzled by the whole thing because I can't think of any changes I've made to my system recently so its strange that it just stopped working. The only logical thing I can think of would be a virus, but beyond this nothing else strange is happening on my system. I'm doing a scan now just in case but I'm pretty confident its not going to find anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
