NextMan1 Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Hi, I have a problem. I have installed FM2009 but when I click the shortcut for the game, nothing comes up. I had a look in Windows Task Manager and the 'fm.exe' file is running so the game runs but it does not show. Can anyone please help me? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOriginalJez Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 1) close all instances of fm.exe in the processes tab 2) install the patch and try again 3) Download the latest Direct X SDK and .NET framework (if you search the forums you'll find the links) 4) if none of them help come back, post your DXDIAG report and I'm sure someone will help Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
