Windowed Greyed Out

Can someone give a soultoin to this please ?

Im sure this would have been a problem for someone else so sorry if im repateing threads!

Thanks

Try this:

1. Right click on the FM09 icon on your desktop & click properties.

2. In the target field, add "-windowed -small_screen" at the end of the target, with a space between the original target & "-windowed -small_screen" & obviously no quotation marks.

3. Click ok & you should be able to play in windowed mode next time you run FM09

--------------------

Also, you should probably have FM09 off when doing this.

i stared to load then i got a thing saying, couldnt open send errot report dont send error report thing, any other soultion or what could i be doing wrong?

Are you sure you entered the right target? Could you copy & paste what exactly you typed into the target field?

E:\Steam\Steam.exe -applaunch 10540"-windowed -small_screen

that is what i typed ^

id screen shot but dontg know how !

Copy & paste this back into the target field: E:\Steam\Steam.exe -applaunch 10540" -windowed -small_screen

You never put a space between the original target & the bit I told you to add on, that's probably your problem.

still no luck :S ?

What error message are you getting exactly? Oh yeah, here's how to post a screenshot:

How to Take a Screenshot

• While in FM, press the 'Prt Sc' button (usually next to F12 on your keyboard).
  
• Open an image editing program such as Paint and paste the image
  
• Save the file as a JPEG
  
• Upload the image to an image hosting website such as Photobucket or Imageshack
  
• Post the direct Url to the image here.
  

Just noticed now that you asked me how to post a screenshot

ok give me a minute

this is it - http://img166.imageshack.us/my.php?image=fm09helpna4.jpg

The link isn't working properly- it just directs me to the register page.

basically you know say when your internet explorer crashes you get a box saying, its occured an error and had to close, Send Error Report - Don't Send ? its that

here it is

Yeah it works. Thanks

so what should i do ?

also, i done this thread a few days back and had to do the same thing, its loaded my game up normally but i could choose the windowed option, but it stopped working and done this, now its doing it with y our code

I can't see the screenshot properly, but I'm guessing it says FM.exe had to close. Sorry for any inconvenience etc etc. Can you check your screen resolution? I think that has something to do with windowed mode not working.

To check your resolution, right-click on your desktop & click graphics properties Then go into display settings & you should find it there.

i could only find an option saying, use in 640x480 with a tick box (its unticked)

Try deleting your cache and see if that helps.

First of all you need to turn on hidden files and folders. Go to My Computer and at the top select 'Tools' the 'Folder Options'. The go to the 'View' tab and select 'Show hidden files and folders'

1. Open “My Computer”

2. Navigate to : “Documents and Settings\<Username>\Application Data\

3. Go into the “Sports Interactive” Folder.

4. Delete the “Football Manager XX” Folder.

1. Click “Start”

2. Click your username on the start Menu

Mac OSX

1. Open Finder.

2. Select <User>

3. Navigate to Library\Caches\Sports Interactive

4. Remove the “Football Manager XX” Folder.

okk will try that, what does my resultion need to be?

I'm not sure to be honest, just remember a guy from SI saying something to do with resolution affecting windowed mode in a previous thread.

also i can only find a folder in my Steam called appcache ?

also i can only find a folder in my Steam called appcache ?

I think that's the cache, although I'm not totally sure.

well, i will fiddle around for a bit and get back too you, thanks

I have the problems and iv opened around 3-4 threads and noone from SI will ever answer your problem . Tick the run in 640x480 box though. Made the game much faster for me
