steffanrhyswilliams Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 You need to install the DotNet2 framework - you need this to run the game in the first place. So please download and install from:http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=0c1b0a88-59e2-4eba-a70e-4cd851c5fcc4&displaylang=en But I ran the game once before the problems started...

neilos Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I get an "XML Parsing Error" when launching the game * This appears to happen sometimes if the game encounters a problem and quits unexpectedly and settings become corrupt as a result of this. Potential workaround: Deleting your settings should in most cases: - Make sure FM is not running. - On Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<your username>\Application Data\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2009 Demo\settings\ (using Windows Explorer, Application Data is hidden by default but you should get to it by typing the path) - On Windows Vista: C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Roaming\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2009 Demo\settings\ (using Windows Explorer, AppData is hidden but you should get to it by typing the path) - On Mac OS X: /Users/<your username>/Library/Preferences/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2009 Demo/ (In the Finder Sidebar: Click your username, then go to Library -> Preferences -> etc..) - Delete all sub-folders in this (the 'Settings' folder). Do not delete the entire "Football Manager 2009" folder in "Application Data" If this doesnt work try a search on the tech support forums! Ive read the fix but cant find it now!

Muzchap Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 This is really starting to get on my nerves, I buy a game to play. Ive message SEGA, still no reply from them.Why did you have to ruin this game. I played a few hours of it yesterday and it was brilliant. And knowing i cant play it atm is really pathetic. My Laptop is only a few months old aswell so it cant be anything to do with the comp Leeroy - did you try the fix mentioned http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php?t=65715 I know you're frustrated but saying 'my computers only a few months old so it can't be that' - doesn't mean it has the correct drivers and framework needed to play.

The application has failed to initialize correctly (0xC0150002). Click on OK to stop the application.” Fix: This can be resolved by updating the Microsoft Dot.Net framework, please visit the following URL to download: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=0856EACB-4362-4B0D-8EDD-AAB15C5E04F5&displaylang=en when i go to download this it says internet explorer cannot open display page, i am downloading this to put on another computer without the internet, do you have to authenticate it again when i put it on the other computer and how does a computer without the internet know when a games been authenticated, this is starting to annoy me, when you pay 30 pound for a game the least you expect is to be able to play it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter's Pilgrims Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 From 11pm last night, message 1317 - haven't received a reply! I'm presuming it is error 281?!? I was playing the game (slowly) via steam, I have changed it to play in windows but when I load I get "fm.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close." The data error signature is "AppName: fm.exe AppVer 9.1.0.26064 ModName: fm.exe ModVer:9.1.0.26064 Offset 00fdc281" Does that mean I have error 281, if so I'll do all it states on P1, if not can you PM what I have to do now please?

macca1010 Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 You need to reset your game settings using the --reset_preferences command.Please see the instructions on the first page of this thread. They are towards the bottom of the page. I can't play the game due to an XML parsing error If you have a shortcut on your desktop you can do the following: Right-click on the FM shortcut. Choose "Properties" from the pop-up menu. In the "Target" field, add the --reset_preferences command line option after "fm.exe", so it should look like this: "C:\Program Files\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2009\fm.exe" --reset_preferences Press OK and then try to run the game as normal, using the shortcut. You'll want to remove the command after you run the game, as otherwise it will continue to reset your preferences every time you launch. If you don't have a shortcut you can make one and then perform the instructions on the shortcut you've made IS THERE ANY CHANCE YOU CAN EXPLAIN THIS IN SIMPLE TERMS AS WHEN I TRY TO DO IT IT DOES'NT MAKE SENSE.
