jameswood345 Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Hi, I dont seem to be the only person with the outlined problems below, there are many posts all about the same issue. Perhaps someone can assist? I have just downloaded FM10 via Steam, I went into my account and downloaded the game. Once this had completed I try and open FM via the desktop shortcut and I get a pop up box saying "preparing to launch FM", this disappears and then nothing. I have tried re-starting and this doesnt work. If I click the shortcut again it says FM is already running but it is not shown anywhere as running. I have tried closing steam but it says I cant close while a program is running. I am running this netbook http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/p...pec&fullspec=F which is well within the requirements for the game. I have downloaded latest version of directx and tried to do the same for my graphic card but that is already running the latest version. I have also uninstalled steam, then reinstalled and downloaded FM again but experience exactly the same problem. Can someone shed some light on what is going wrong please as I want to start playing!

jameswood345 Posted January 3, 2010 Author Share Posted January 3, 2010 I have also tried setting the screen resolution to 1024x768 and that doesnt work. Also downloaded the latest .net framework. Can I please have some support? Having paid my £30 I would have expected to be able to access the game with relative ease on a computer that is less than 12 months old.

Tomer Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 I can't link you to the post because I'm not sure where it is, but I read someone say that FM doesn't support netbooks, unfortunately. I've also read somewhere that there's a skin in the skinning section of this message board that will/may help those with a netbook. Edit: http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php?t=167235 see if that works? I don't use steam or a netbook, so I'm afraid this is all I can do to help. Hope it works Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jameswood345 Posted January 3, 2010 Author Share Posted January 3, 2010 Thanks for you reply, I have tried that but to no avail. What does seem odd that once I try and open FM and I get the pop up that disappears if I try and open again I get a pop up saying that FM is already running but it isnt shown in task manager and I can feel the computer running slower as if it is running in the background somewhere? Anyone from SI help please? James Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
