icklegemma Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Hi, I've just bought a shiny new PC with Windows 7, and a nice new copy of FM09 to play on it, which says it is compatible with 7...turns out it is not! When I put the installation CD in, it starts to whir and then nothing happens. The CD does not appear in My Computer and nothing appears anywhere. I double checked and I have a DVD reader (FS09 I think is in the DVD format, compared with FS08 which loads fine but is not a DVD) and plenty of memory as the PC is brand new. I didn't think it would be this difficult - does anyone have any ideas as I have stretched my (somewhat limited!) computer knowledge and can't think of what else to do!!

Can your copy of FM 2009 play on Vista using the same machine? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can confirim that I played FM2009 on Windows 7 64 Bit for months. If the DVD isn;t showing up, it sounds like the drive may not be compatible with the DVD. Does happen. Have had to swap out a number of customers drives becuase their Kodak DVD's won't play in the drives, but other DVD's do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

trekman Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Firstly I would suggest updating your graphics card drivers, directx and Java. Just because you have a new pc doesn't mean that the drivers are up to date. You should also get the latest patch for fm2009 and a data update if you want the latest transfers. You'll get the data update from the editors hideaway. I had a similar problem with trying to install fm2010. I had to remove and retry inserting the dvd a few times before it showed up.

Thanks for that - so is the only thing to do to go back to the shop and get it fixed? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
