also is there something i can do so it would work? thanks alot

The key is in the name "Netbook"

I would suggest looking at something with more power unless you are looking to just run a league or two (thats LEAGUE not nations leagues).

Netbooks are for checking email and looking at simple websites, they are hardly any use for more intense net browsing and struggle with the increase of demand of processing power by popular modern websites.

The link doesn't work unless you're in Canada. However, somewhat weirdly, that sounds exactly like the netbook I got from Staples yesterday.

It seems a very decent machine, and the processing seems very impressive for such a machine - but I'm not planning on playing FM on it. May use the netbook skin from the skinning forum and give it a go at some point though.

Ive got a netbook and its about the same as yours, i play the english league(prem to league 2) and it works fine you will need the netbook skin though

okay thanks.. do you guys think older football managers would work on it? like 2008 or 09

You're best off trying the demo. It may run but probably not well with those specs.

I think they'd be even slower, and also may not suit the resolution. There's also, to my knowledge, no netbook skin for the older versions.

You should be fine. I'm running it on this: http://www.notebookspec.com/web/newspec.php?p_len=40&id=2231

I've got large database with 10 or so nations. It isn't exactly fast, but certainly playable and obviously you don't have to run that many leagues.

Make sure you get michaelmurrayuk's Netbook skin.

well.. i installed it and and everything but for some reason when i want to run it the game doesnt even open up.. if i click to open it again it says im already running it ... any ideas?

You have to run it in windowed mode.

Right click on the shortcut icon, open properties and change the target to "C:\Program Files\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2010\fm.exe" --small_screen --windowed

any other netbooks work well with fm2010?
