MAINBOY Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 I've tried to click football manager 09 on my computer and it wont let me load the game. It comes up like XML Parsing error. Does anyone know how to fix it. Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevicus Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 I can't play the game due to an XML parsing errorIf 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 Hope this helps:thup: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevicus Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 C:\Program Files\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2009\fm.exe" --reset_preferences Did you type this bit or copy and paste? If you type it , you are likely to make a mistake and it wont work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahmufcwafc Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Add a space and --reset_preferences at the end of your original target field. What Stevie quoted won't work if you use steam. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
