If you could give abit more detail on your problems lol you mite get some help as its still not forced to be game it could be your system despite other things working ok

It might not be that your PC is broken, just maybe a setting not right or some issue with your graphics card or display.

When you say wont install, do you mean the game or patch 11.2?

its all up to date the game wont install now its keeps stoppin on data wont move past it

just cleaned my cache an got rid off any files that could of been left behind just tryed to install it again an it stops in the same place on data

Are you installing it from disk or is it a digital download install?

its from the disk mate ive tryed to install it both ways aswell 1 with havin to keep disk in for ever or with steam as same on both

I might be clutching at straws here but have you checked the disk to make sure that there isn't a bit of dirt on it or a scratch.

I am also assuming that since you uninstalled it and are trying to reinstall it that there is enough room on your hard drive.

yes mate first thing i done was 2 check the disk even tryed it in a different drive incase it was that an theres defo enough room left on my hard drive thanks for helping me mate

First of all, try using proper punctuation and grammar, people might be more willing to help! Your posts are very difficult to read.

Second, as it seems you are suggesting that you have tried to install both via CD and Steam and neither worked. That suggests to me that, in fact, the problem is with your computer. Perhaps, if you install from the disc, then, right-click on the icon (don't let it autorun), and click on "run as administrator" and then see if the install works.

If that fails, then I would suggest, updating your graphic card drivers, as I think this may be a potential source of the issue. Also a look at this post might be helpful http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php/233554-Football-Manager-2011-FAQ?p=6066648&viewfull=1#post6066648

Not a problem lfc, hope you get it sorted.

Reading again, it seems you were able to install successfully before, perhaps one of the patches has corrupted and you need to delete all the files, including the the files mentioned in the link I gave you. Also make sure you back up any save files, then delete the C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Sports Interactive folders.

Best of luck.

how long are u leaving it to install for? mine took a good 15-20 mins to install when the data part was up

left it last night for about 3 hours mate as forgot it was on an tryed for a good 1 - 2 hours today

i tryed deleting all the files mate and i only got the patch today so cant be that as you need the game installed first and thanks for your help again gb68

I'm not sure what the cause of your problem is.

I'd bet that Customer Services could help you fix it though.

Give them a try, here - lets see if they can "sort it out" for you.

No offence mate, but it has nothing to do with the game does it. Clearly something wrong somewhere with your machine.

Best thing to to do is to repeat the process of uninstall and re-install then proceed writing down/screen shot every activity you do and the response so that improved understanding is achieved on here and someone can help you

Blatenly is something wrong with your PC, as no one else has the same problem, just admit u have a crap pc

my pc more than likely a lot better than yours mate so if you got nothing to say go away

Is this on the pre-match analysis screen or always?

Are you running any custom facepacks/logos or skins? Let me know, thanks.

I've had other games/applications hang on install for the following reasons (all PC related, just some ideas):

- Heat. Is your CPU running cool and/or heating up to a point during install where it's too hot and hangs the machine? Easy to download an app to monitor this and simply rule it out

- Power. How is your PSU doing? How old is it/what brand/what wattage? Might want to list your entire CPU specs here just so we all know what we're dealing with

- Memory. Run memtest for 24 hours to make sure your memory doesn't have any bad sectors. Any bad sectors may be causing it to hang.

- While we're on it, might as well run a diskchk on your HDD just to be sure.

- Do you have an overclock on your CPU? If so, what is it? Have you tested it's stability?

ALL of these can cause what you are descirbing. Just because it doesn't happen for any other games/apps doesn't mean these things can't be an issue. Your symptoms do point to something possibly being wrong with the machine. It might not be hardware related, true, but checking the above off the list will help narrow down the issue. If it's not harware related, I bet it's a windows problem more than anything. But if you can go through the steps methodically as suggested above, and check those things off, it will certainly narrow things down.

I will subscribe to this thread and check in from time to time, hopefully you can scratch some of my suggestions off the list Good luck!

1. Game installs on most everyone else's machines.

2. Game does not install on your machine.

3. Occam's Razor: The issue is the machine, not the game. N'est-çe pas?

With your install stopping on data, this could be a windows issue where the screen is not updating but it is actually installing in the background. Try waiting a while and see if the install completes. If you have left it for a prolonged period of time however and nothing has happened then I recommened doing the below.

I'd suggest removing all traces of FM from your machine (make sure you back up any save games/tactics etc first) then reinstalling.

If via disc make sure your disc is clean

You can also try via Steam again by following the instructions here - http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php/233554-Football-Manager-2011-FAQ?p=6066635&viewfull=1#post6066635

Let me know how you get on, thanks.

hi neil i have removed all parts of the game also the old games i have left it to install the data part for about 3 hors and it just does not move, the disk is also clean as that was the first thing i tryed and i have also tryed installing the games with and without steam
