buster105e Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Ive got a brand new netbook with all the specs to run FM10, the game installs fine but when i load it up and get to the new game screen my netbook crashes restarts and says windows has recovered from a serious error. I took the netbook to the shop i bought it from and they told me it is a known problem with netbooks but they think there is a fix?????? any help would be appreciated.:confused: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnhughthom Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 You need to force your netbook to run 1024x768 resolution. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jameswood345 Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 I have similar problems to the OP. My netbook is set at 1024x600 but still wont show FM10. Can I manually set it to 768 to see if that helps? Although I doubt it will. James Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnhughthom Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 FM won't run at 1024x600, you need to force your netbook to run unsupported resolutions, I can't remember how, a google should tell you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaeltmurrayuk Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 If the rest of the specs are enough to run the game then follow the instructions in this thread to load the game up: http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php?t=167235 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jameswood345 Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 I have tried that Michael but as I'm running it off steam the program files are not in that location. I have tried adding skin=netbook 2010 and that still doesnt help. I have just tried to download onto my work PC (a dell desktop) and that has worked fine but I really wanted FM for the netbook when travelling.

michaeltmurrayuk Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 If you are using Steam, load Steam goto the My Games Window right click on Football Manager 2010 -> Properties -> General -> Set Launch Options and type in the box that appears "--small_screen --windowed" (without the " ") click OK then close the window and run FM2010 through steam it should now open in windowed mode, you should then be able to select the netbook skin in the preferences menu. (You will also need to hide the Windows taskbar to free up some more screen space). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jameswood345 Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Michael, thank you very much. After a very frustrating 24 hours I can finally at least see FM :thumb: I will have a play to try and find the skin now. Will get back if I can sort. Thanks again, James Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
