Wagner Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Hi all, Hoping someone may be able to help... I've had FM installed on my laptop previously and it worked fine. I had to remove it a week or so ago. I went to reinstall it this week and get a message saying 'C:\Program Files\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2008\fm.exe is not a valid Win32 application' Any ideas what could have happened!? I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game after cleaning registries, I've cleaned the CD. I'm a bit lost as to what to do now as it was working recently and I haven't made any changes to the laptop that I can think would affect this.

Wagner Posted August 9, 2008 Author Share Posted August 9, 2008 Apologies, I've just realised that this should be in the 'Tech' forum - can a mod move it for me please. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
isuckatfm Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 In most cases this occurs with downloaded programs and corruption occuring during the process. Try disabling anything and everything that could interfere with the installation process (antivirus, cd/dvd drive related programs). If you have patched the game and it is happening then try downloading the patch again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wagner Posted August 10, 2008 Author Share Posted August 10, 2008 I'm using the original CD, I had patched it though, other than the usual uninstall, is there anything necessary to do to remove the patch? Cheers, appreciate the help Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
