Peter W Posted March 22, 2009 Author Share Posted March 22, 2009 i seen that mate but when i try to get into the target field i can't even delete fm09, to replace it with this: C:\Program Files\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2009\fm.exe any ideas?

ahmufcwafc Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Are you using steam? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdunk Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Are you sure you are changing a shortcut? It won't work if you do it directly to the fm.exe file. What version of windows are you using, and did you install via Steam? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter W Posted March 22, 2009 Author Share Posted March 22, 2009 no not using steam just the box version. I have right clicked on the shortcut and clicked properties at the bottom but it won't let me edit the target field? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahmufcwafc Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 no not using steam just the box version. I have right clicked on the shortcut and clicked properties at the bottom but it won't let me edit the target field? So let's get this straight - you activated with UniLoc or by phone then? Just making sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdunk Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Are you sure you're looking at the right field, it's on the Shortcut tab and it's just called Target, not Target type or Target location. Also, you're not using a restricted user account, I presume you've got full admin rights? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter W Posted March 22, 2009 Author Share Posted March 22, 2009 i have the shortcut to fm09 on my desktop, i have right clicked on there, and clicked on properties at the bottom. a new box then appears, with target third line down, and in the box it says football manager 2009, after reading the help section i presume you put this code into tht box? C:\Program Files\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2009\fm.exe. But iu can't edit fm 2009. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdunk Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 You could always try deleting your cached files. Go to C:/users/[your user name]/AppData/Roaming/Sports Interactive/ and delete the Football Manager 2009 folder. I would actually move it somewhere else, rather than delete it for the moment (in case anything goes wrong so you can put it back) and make sure the game isn't running when you delete/move it. Make sure you don't delete the Football Manager 2009 Certificate folder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamilton162 Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 No, deleting cache files doesn't work bigdunk. Just add --reset_preferences in the target box after the original text. Once the game has successfully launched, delete the --reset-preferences as it resets your preferences every time you load otherwise and you don't want to keep reloading your skin, facepacks etc. Happy Gaming Hamilton162 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdunk Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I know the reset_preferencess thing is the official advice, but clearing the cache has fixed this problem for me in the past. And he's unable to modify his shortcut anyway (try reading the thread next time maybe ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamilton162 Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I did, but sometimes this happens because he entered an invalid code etc. and CBA to read the link. Also, he didn't say what he had done to try and fix it and what field he had added in the text. Happy now with my apology Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
