Sudden Crush

Hello to you all,

This morning, when I tried to run the game, it suddenly crushed back to the home screen after the ads. When I started the task manager, in the processes tab fm.exe was seemed to be running. However the applications tab was empty. Also when I press on the Football Manager icon it says "Football Manager 2010 is already running". What may be the cause of the problem?

Excuse me for the complicated explanation.:o

try to close fm by ending it at the processes tab.

then try to start it again if this keeps happening post it on the supports forum, there live the technical guys.

I thought you had fallen in love with the game judging by your titled thread!!!!

I'm afraid I don't know the solution to your issu but I would suggest posting this in the 'Technical Issues' forum and hopefully someone will be able to help you.

This kept on happening numerous times. I re-installed the game several times.

did you update your windows, antivirus.

when you re-install the game did you delete all the files available
