Unable to load Demo game on full version

As the title said, I've got a really good game going from the demo, but I keep getting error messages when I try and load the demo game in the full version. The message reads 'The database with which this game was created could not be found. The game is now using the default folder.' Please can anyone help?! I'd be very grateful indeed. Thanks

sorry, I didnt explain very well. the error message comes up and then the screen becomes distorted and stretched, and the interface is no longer matching the actual game play buttons, ie to press continue game, i would have to move my mouse a few centimetres to the left of it. its absolutely unplayable. Sorry if i havent explained very well. I hope you can help!?

Please help!

try to press space with the keyboard and see what happens pls.

Hi alan, nothing happened apart from acting as the continue game short cut. The screen remains strangely distorted.

I dont know if this helps, but for some reason, when this error occurs, there is always two fm tabs open on my computer, rather than just the one that i started

is there anyone who can help? I'm massively suffering from withdrawal and anti climax with a demo game played right up to the end of December here!

hard to guess whats wrong tbh as I'm not really a computer expert, just trying to help ... if you are playing in windowed, try double clicking on the title of the window so that it will be the maximum size possible, sometimes it refreshes the graphics when u do so....

Thanks Alan, i appreciate the effort! I'm not playing in windowed mode, so no clearer as to what is going on. Surely this cannot have only happened to me!? I'm going mental without being able to use this save game.

Try to delete the cache files:

Windows XP:

C:\Users\<User Name\App Data\

Vista and Windows 7:

C:\Users\<User Name>\App Data\Roaming

Once you can see inside those folders delete the Sports Interactive Folder.

If you can’t see those folders you will have to make “Hidden” files viewable.

For Vista and Windows 7:

In a window, go to 'Organize'->'Folder and Search Options'->'View'-> and select 'Show hidden files and folders'.

For XP:

Make sure you are able to see hidden folders:

When in a window, go to 'Tools'->'Folder Options'->'View'-> and make sure 'Show hidden files and folders' is selected.

Hi Kubi, I've followed your instructions (thanks!), but nothing changed when loading the game.. Any other ideas?

Another try:

Delete the demo version from your computer.

The Demo no longer appears on my list of programs.. Obviously there are still files on my computer though. How do I delete them all? Apologies, i'm not particularly brilliant with computers.. Would deleting the demo files not delete my save game?

i need a saviour! Robbie Earnshaw has got twenty something goals and im top of the table at the end of December. I can't say goodbye to this game! Please help.

Your save game is stored in your documents folder not in the game directory, deleting the demo does not delete your saved game. Did you try to reboot your computer and than launching the game again?
