I posted this in the help forum ages ago and the advice I got was to install it onto an XP machine and copy the files onto a stick and paste them onto your Vista systems Program Files somewhere...I think. It worked and I've been playing it fine ever since with no problems. I'll look for the topic for you. Edit - The topic appears to have been deleted, sorry.

Nerion Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Firstly, could this be due to not having administrator rights? I've never had such problems with Vista Ultimate, and I've seen many other people post that it worked fine on their Vista machine, so I'm guessing it's not something that can't be fixed. Secondly, I have never heard of a motherboard that would not 'accept' XP yet had no issues with Vista, I honestly can't imagine they exist.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rinso Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 im pretty sure my machine came up with the same error after id installed it, but its such a long time ago i cant remember for sure... have you actually tried running the game, and does it work?

cityforever Posted September 7, 2008 Author Share Posted September 7, 2008 I only had a 32bit O/S of XP and I have a 64bit motherboard, I dont know why, I tryed other copies of xp and a 64bit xp and it wouldnt install. Ive heard all about the administrator rights and stuff, but I have full control of my pc, im the only one to use it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive heard all about the administrator rights and stuff, but I have full control of my pc, im the only one to use it. Ah ok, I wouldn't recommend XP64 to anyone anyway. Emm, well if I remember correctly, default user accounts do not have administrator access (for protection reasons), I'm not entirely sure about this, but you might want to check. Also, there's also software that requires to be run in administrator mode for it to function properly. Anyone know if this might be the case for the installer?

Nerion Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 64 bit motherboard? lolllllllllllAlso, turn UAC off. 1. What's wrong with a 64bit mobo? They're stable and allow for (much) more RAM to be used. 2. I wouldn't advise turning UAC off unless you know exactly what you're doing. It's there for a reason and does more good than most people realize. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityforever Posted September 7, 2008 Author Share Posted September 7, 2008 UAC wasnt turned on in the first place, the thing is with windows xp 32bit, it wouldnt install and kept restarting during trying to install it, then i got a windows vista and it went in striaght away, I tryed to install FM on my second hard drive and it gives me the following: You do not have write premission to choosen desanation Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres no such thing as a '64 bit motherboard'. 64 bit CPU and operating system yes. UAC is a waste of time, if people are ******** they'll run into problems even with it activated.

McMaster#28 Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Have you tried to look in the game explorer to see if it actually installed? The log might be in the progam files(X86)/sports interactive/ folder, maybe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see no reason why a motherboard that only supports 64bit CPU's should not be referred to as a 64bit motherboard. And well, for most people, for the common PC user, UAC is not a waste of time. Now I'm not one to prevent you from calling the human population in general ********, but I speak from experience when I say that UAC is definately worthwhile for the general public, and probably also for some people that think they know what they're talking about.

cityforever Posted September 7, 2008 Author Share Posted September 7, 2008 Nope, it wont let me install it on the other hard drive, but I can install it on my O/S hard drive, but it says something at the end like the full install wasnt complete.

rinso Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 well, two wild guesses.... try installing the patch on the game, and see if that fixes it. if not, try a clean uninstall, and when you reinstall, put it in "my documents" rather than "program files" andd see if either of them help...

cityforever Posted September 7, 2008 Author Share Posted September 7, 2008 Nope exactly the same! Installed it in 3 different places, i am very confussed, like I said earlier, Ive installed fm07 back on and that works fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rinso Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 did you try the patch as well?? thats about the last of my ideas im afraid, short of creating another account on your pc, and installing it from there and seein if that works! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityforever Posted September 7, 2008 Author Share Posted September 7, 2008 Yep tryed the patch, both, 8.0.1 and 0.2 and even created another account on my pc and still didnt work, the last idea i got is clean the disk, but my disks are looked after very well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rinso Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 two more ideas... right click fm.exe in your program files and say "send to desktop" try running it from that shortcut. if that doesnt work, see if you can access compatibility from the proberties of the shortcut. if that makes sense... if not, does the fm icon appear in your "start menu > games" folder???

isuckatfm Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I only had a 32bit O/S of XP and I have a 64bit motherboard, I dont know why, I tryed other copies of xp and a 64bit xp and it wouldnt install. Ive heard all about the administrator rights and stuff, but I have full control of my pc, im the only one to use it. I don't have Vista so can't comment from experience but I have heard of issues installing software even when the User was the only account and was set up as an Administrator. I've also seen people using Vista, installing FM from an administrative account and getting errors. In many cases these were solved by the following:- Do a clean uninstall of FM from the prior install. Don't let the disc autorun. Open up the CD drive, then right click setup.exe and select 'Run as Administrator'. Do the same for the fm.exe when installed and any shortcuts you use. Before sleepwalkingpolarbear says ffs as he did to Francis Cole all the poster said he has done is install from his Administrative account, he hasn't confirmed he used the right click method. Logic may say there should be no difference but my experience on here tells me otherwise. Ive just installed fm07 again, and that is working fine.I have 5 General Digital Signatures Secuirty Details Previous versions Can you check if you can access System Restore?
