Dicko99 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 strangely..there was no short cut provided on my desktop like I did have on my Window XP laptop... click on start menu should be in the games folder you will have to make a shortcut on your desktop urself, i had the same problem on 08 couldnt find it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftg87 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 To get a shortcut on the desktop: Find the folder that the exe is in. Will be either C:\Program Files\Steam\Steamapps\Common\Football Manager 2009\ or C:\Program Files\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2009 Then right click the fm.exe file and choose "send to desktop (create shortcut)" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenn Wakeford Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 On Vista the shortcut can be found at Start -> Programs -> Games -> Games Explorer. Ensure you are patched to 9.2.0 and have the latest direct x and graphics card drivers. Also try running in windowed mode... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
