Have you tried this:

Other XML Errors

Delete the following folder:

not well-formed (invalid token) at line1 of camera is problem

its xp ........................................

wuld it help if i reinstal may windows

if reinstalling FM doesn't help then I wouldn't go to reinstalling windows, that's a bit of a leap!

Do you still get the problem in another game? ie, is it just happening to one saved game, or does it happen every time you run fm?

Try this:

- 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.

Hey i have tried doing this but in my target box it says '"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steam.exe" -applaunch 10540'

What should i do?

You need to show hidden files and folders- read the full instructions in the Known Issues thread at the top of the Bugs forum.

i cant find the folder!!

any other suggestion?

Go to the Support for PC Users forum, read the Header and then open a new thread with as much information as you can and I will look at it in there.

Bumping this because I have encountered the same problem in FM2011 and deleting Settings helped. I have lost my save game though. Is there any good way to prevent this from happening in the future?

Thormations advice worked for me. After maybe 3 months of playing i kept getting error messages, then had to reinstall windows and the game to correct it. Saved games were transfered to external hdds then re added so ive still got the same game. Now using Thormations advice i no longer have to wipe the hdd and reinstall windows so thanks Thormation buddy. Peace m8.
