That error is received when the activation server is down I believe. The only thing I can advise is to try again later. SI and Sega will be releasing a statement about the problems people have been experiencing later.

I have installed on steam but now it wont launch can anyone help please

Can you provide more detail for my sleep deprived brain to work with please? Does it just do nothing? Is it running in Task Manager/Processes? Have you tried rebooting (PCs are odd beasts sometimes)?

It just wont launch, i've tried it on mymother in laws laptop, she has vista and bfore i could get it to launch i had to add to game browser, however i have xp and dont have this option

About this DotNet 2.0....Can I download it for free,and when i download it,what i must do to solve this problem with ''The application failed to initialze properly (0xc0150002)''.

Thanks

Can u please tell me where can i find DotNet 2.0 free download and what i must do when i download it to fix ''The application failed to initialze properly (0xc0150002)'' problem

I too am getting the 'failed to initialize...' error. I've downloaded DotNet 2.0 but to be honest, have no clue about what destination it needs saving to or any of the inevitably complicated technicalities.

Please, please, please can some boffin come to my aid? This is truly driving me to distraction and as things stand is a total waste of £30 i could scarcely afford in the first place.

Thanks.

You need to download this

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=5493F76A-6D37-478D-BA17-28B1CCA4865A&displaylang=en

Should fix it

Thanks, you're a potential lifesaver. Where should i save it to - the fm09 folder or somewhere else?

Ive tried this but get a message at the end of the download saying i have no administartive

privilages which i need to run setup. This is my works laptop , is there anyway of working around this?

Right...i've downloaded dotnet 2.0 and still getting no joy whatsoever. It doesn't even seem to be trying, the error comes up almost instantaneosly after double-clicking the fm09 icon.

Any suggestions will be received with enormous gratitude, this is really getting my goat. There's a nagging doubt that i've just downloaded i to the wrong folder but perhaps i'm clutching at straws; seems that i'll be taking it back to the shop - been faffing for two days now. Bit of a heartbreaker.

yep i know how you feel my friend, i bought the game at 9:15 on friday and installed it and managed to play 3 games of it and now i cant get into it it keeps saying Football manager 2009 is already running (which its not) and then im getting 5 errors xml line 17 errors, its not sorted by Tuesday im tking it back and buying 08 at least i could play that!

my problem is that when i try to play a game and go on submit team it immediatley shuts down the game and says "not well-formed (invalid token) at line 1 of highlights.xml" then says "not well-formed (invalid token) at line 1 of speed.xml"

in desperate need of help, some1 please reply...

I can't play the game due to an XML parsing error

If you have a shortcut on your desktop you can do the following:

• Right-click on the FM shortcut.
  
• Choose "Properties" from the pop-up menu.
  
• In the "Target" field, add the --reset_preferences command line option after "fm.exe", so it should look like this:
  "C:\Program Files\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2009\fm.exe" --reset_preferences
  
• Press OK and then try to run the game as normal, using the shortcut.
  

You'll want to remove the command after you run the game, as otherwise it will continue to reset your preferences every time you launch.

If you don't have a shortcut you can make one and then perform the instructions on the shortcut you've made.

• If you purchased and installed the game through Steam you should be able to find the fm.exe in the following directory:
  C:/Program Files/Steam/SteamApps/Common/Football Manager 2009/
  
• If you purchased and installed the game from a boxed DVD copy you should be able to find the fm.exe in the following directory:
  C:/Program Files/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2009/
  

Try that?
