Matt ex SEGA Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Search your machine for fm.exe When you find it, create a desktop shortcut and use that whenever Steam gives you this message. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt ex SEGA Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Steam throws that out every now and again. Start menu >> search >> insert "fm.exe" in the box and it'll find it for you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is something wrong then and that is why steam says the application is unavailable as that is where is should be for steam to find it. Are you sure you installed it with Steam?

Yeah, try and reinstall it. Did you buy it from steam or just activate it through steam? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimland Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 The file you got told to download is as far as I can tell from the name of the link a .zip file. That file needs to be nuzipped with winzip or winrar or something similiar. You can always try and doubleclick the file you downloaded, if you got a program that can unzip it it will pick it up if not you will get to the chose program interface. Both winrar and winzip can be downloaded for free. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
