marcjfarmer Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Hi all, I have just installed FM2010 using the offline method, from a disk. However, once installation is complete it tells me that there were errors during installation, and that I should check the installation log. After trying, and failing, to find this, I tried running the game, but still nothing. I even downloaded and installed patch 10.3, but this hasn't seemed to make a difference. If it helps, my system runs as follows: Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit (6.1, Build 7600) (7600.win7_gdr.100226-1909) Language: English (Regional Setting: English) System Manufacturer: Dell Inc. System Model: Inspiron 1012 BIOS: Ver 1.00PARTTBL Processor: Intel® Atom CPU N450 @ 1.66GHz (2 CPUs), ~1.7GHz Memory: 1024MB RAM Available OS Memory: 1014MB RAM Page File: 1760MB used, 1282MB available Windows Dir: C:\Windows DirectX Version: DirectX 11 Display Card name: Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 3150 Manufacturer: Intel Corporation Chip type: Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 3150 DAC type: Internal Device Key: Enum\PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_A011&SUBSYS_041A1028&REV_00 Display Memory: 250 MB Dedicated Memory: 0 MB Shared Memory: 250 MB Current Mode: 1024 x 600 (32 bit) (60Hz) Please help, I've been trying to get this working for so long, and cannot find any answers! Thanks in advance, folks! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
z1xiang Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 I think is better to have a look on the log file. What are those errors during your installation? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't find the installation log anywhere, I've looked all around the Sports Interactive folder and still nothing! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
z1xiang Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 what's the error when you start fm? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcjfarmer Posted May 2, 2010 Author Share Posted May 2, 2010 There is no error as such, the game just doesn't load at all! Although, it seems to have a process running when I start task manager. But the game itself never launches, and it doesn't appear in the list of currently running applications in the task manager. But when I try and run fm.exe, either from the desktop or the SI folder, the same thing happens every time, just a process in the task manager which eats up some CPU usage for a while, then fades, and nothing else happens!

khughes1981 Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Does anybody know how to fix this? I have the exact same problem Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neji Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Make sure you install into the default directory and also use the default installation method (rather than custom). Not sure if they will fix it. Otherwise, if you can, try using Steam to install the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then it comes up with the message saying it has installed but there were errors and check the installation log. The game then starts up. I have then come out of it but there is no sign of the game in the program files (default) and I can't get it to load up again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neji Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 On Windows Vista or 7? If so, press start and go to 'Games'. The icon may be in there. Where are you looking for the game? If it starts up the first time, then it is definitely installed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
khughes1981 Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 It's on Vista Tried games and it's not in there. If I go into the uninstall programs bit it's in there and I can uninstall it so it must be somewhere. Tried a search looking for it and it doesn't find it either. I found this on another forum "I fixed this last night, heres how to do it - make a new account and call it games or something, then install the game on that account, it should install fine, then log back into your own account and find the fm 2010 files that you just installed, copy them to your own account, delete the new account you just made and the game should work fine after that" Does this mean make a new user account?
