M.J.. Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Hey, I have just bought a new laptop and installed Football Manager 2008 on it. It worked prefectly until today, when I tried to run Football Manager 2008, and during the startup, it said 'Unable to open fullscreen mode'. The game then shut down. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall, as well as restarting the computer. As well as this, I installed Football Manager 2009 with Steam, however, when I ask the computer to launch Football Manager 2009, nothign happens. I then try again, and it says that 'Football Manager is already running'. This is just plain confusing, and pparently it has nothing to do with the laptop. Someone please help!!!

SCIAG Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 With 09- perhaps it's running as a process but not an app, normally caused by a virus? Ctrl+Alt+Delete, that will open Task Manager. Flick to "Processes". Is "FM.exe" or similar, running? 08- has your resolution changed? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCIAG Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 I have accidentally changed my resolution in the past Control Panel->Appearance and Themes->Change the screen resolution. I believe it needs to be set to 1280 by 1024 (should be the far right option). As for your 09 problem, I suggest doing a thorough virus scan, preferably with Kaspersky (my tech guy says it's the best). Oh, and have you read the FAQ? That could have the answer.
