HCFC_Clark Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I've recently changed from vista to windows 7 on my laptop, so obviously I had to clear my hard drive etc. I've re-installed steam etc. and when I go to run FM I get this error message. I go on the control pannel and can see fm.exe in the processes, but can't see it at all on my screen. Hopefully someone can help because i'm desperate to get back to playing again!!

Cougar2010 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 How are you launching it? Try a different method, open Steam and launch it from your games library or maybe find the directory in Windows Explorer and try the exe. Also close other programs maybe until you get it up & running. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HCFC_Clark Posted December 2, 2011 Author Share Posted December 2, 2011 Launching it via Steam but no matter what I do it's just coming up again and again. I'll try the windows explorer and let you know... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumbly you have gone through all the related threads and tried the various remedies e.g latest drivers, reinstall steam, clear cache, check integrety of files etc? If so, and no luck hopefully SI support may have other suggestions? Good luck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
