Football Manager 2010 error messages

Hi,

I have tried to load the game but for some reason it always fails to load, I think it maybe an issue with DirectX or my graphics card.

Load with steam I get the error message 83?

Load without steam I get the error message Cannot run game:Failed to load up the graphics system.

My graphics card is NVIDA RIVA TNT2 64

If someone could let me know if they know how to solve the problem i'd be very greatfull.

Cheers Gretts

ERROR: Cannot run game:Failed to set up graphics system

Fix: Please download the following update from the Microsoft Direct X SDK: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

When downloading this file please use the Firefox browser as some people have encounter difficulties when using Internet Explorer

You should also check that you are running the latest graphics driver, you can do this by visiting the computer manufacturer website, or by visiting the graphics card manufacturing website.

Also if you are running Steam, make sure this is not running when attempting to install

Your PC does not meet the minimum specs, that is why you are getting the error.

I am afraid that your computer does not meet the min specs in any of the required areas, processor, RAM or graphics card.
