bc23 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Hi guys, Bought the game today and put disc in to my Disc drive but the PC just isn't picking it up... I've put it in all other PCs in the house and auto-runs perfectly, tried old Footy Managers disks in the drive and they are picked up perfect, it just seems to be the new disc. Any suggestions? Cheers people Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing my box in this stupid game... You can do it a different way. Download Steam Steam= http://store.steampowered.com/about/ Then. Make a account, and login. Then you'll see a thing called activate game, click that. Enter the code from your Football Manager 2009 manual. Then it'll start to download, when thats done. You'll be able to play, no disc required or anything. Enjoy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jptykes Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Try a different DVD in the drive. Not sure what else you could do. Do you have a lens cleaner? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pelicanstuff Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Make sure you have up-to-date drivers for the DVD drive installed and do what jptykes says above as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iggy Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Doubleclick on My Computer, does it say FM2009 on your dvdplayer? If yes, then it reads the dvd. Doubleclick it and there should be either a autorun.exe or setup.exe, try one of them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bc23 Posted November 14, 2008 Author Share Posted November 14, 2008 Ryt i've put a DVD in and it's doing the same thing as with FM2009 disk...like there is nothing in the disc-drawer. Any suggestions? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jptykes Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 It looks like it's either not a DVD drive or it's lost DVD functions for some reason. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bc23 Posted November 14, 2008 Author Share Posted November 14, 2008 It defo has DVD capabilities and has the re-writeable DVD drive too so it must have just disabled itself somehow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Football_Manager08 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 It defo has DVD capabilities and has the re-writeable DVD drive too so it must have just disabled itself somehow. Why don't you do the Steam option then? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pelicanstuff Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 It defo has DVD capabilities and has the re-writeable DVD drive too so it must have just disabled itself somehow. try and find drivers for it on the internet. I guess most of the drives are made by hitachi these days? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bc23 Posted November 14, 2008 Author Share Posted November 14, 2008 Why don't you do the Steam option then?
