Schotsmannetje Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Ah, don't know much about Windows mate! Sorry. Isn't there an option on windows to change the startup settings? Right-click fm.exe, press properties. I know for sure you can change some stuff there, I just don't know if you can change the startup resolution though.

peter-evo Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 You may want to delete the directory in my documents. (My documents -> Sports Interactive -> Football Manager 2009) but back up your save games. Then uninstall and reinstall. Warning: You will lose all of your graphics. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaeltmurrayuk Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Try resetting your preferences by one of two methods: 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/ Another solution is to delete your settings files: Delete Settings 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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
