sumercho Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Hi, guys. I bought a new computer and installed Windows 7. I installed FM 2010 and when i click twice the FM icon, the system is thinking for about 5 sec. and then the game isn't starting. I have never had a problem like that and i can't solve it. I hope someone can help me. Cheers, mates. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertcornell68 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Are you clicking the icon in the "games" folder? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sumercho Posted June 3, 2010 Author Share Posted June 3, 2010 Yup, i don't use a shortcut. I click the icon in the game directory. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertcornell68 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 How about fm.exe in the SI folder? Otherwise, try re-installing. It works just great on 7. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lambs Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 You could try running it in administration mode as well. Right click the program and select it from the drop down box, top choice if I recall correctly. If the FM.exe in the SI folder works, then make sure the short cut is okay on the games icon properties. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blanchflower1 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Nothing works, damn. I re-installed it over 5 times but.. Did you scan your PC for viruses? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sumercho Posted June 3, 2010 Author Share Posted June 3, 2010 Huh, the PC is new, only 36 hours till Windows installed. I don't believe it's a virus. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebbie Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Do you have anti viurs software installed is this blocking it? Try right clicking and going to properties and then Compatilbility and run in a different compatibility mode. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

into pitch black Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Do you have 32 bit or 64 bit, if its 64 bit (which i suspect as it isn't running) click the computer icon on your desktop, then click "WinVista (C: )", you will have list of folders, one will say "program files" another which should be directly below it saying "program files (x86)". Click the "program files" folder to see if the Sports Interactive folder is in that list, if it is copy and paste it to the the other folder called "program files (x86)", now try to run the game from Sports Interactive folder you just copied to the "program files (x86)" folder. Sometimes this problem is the other way around, it will install in the "program files (x86)" but will need to be moved or copy and pasted to the "program files" folder and run from there, its a strange quirk but happens with random games at random times, could be your problem, worth a try.

Jasonius Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 hold onto the windows key (inbetween your left ctrl + alt buttons) and then press R then type "C:\Program Files\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2010\fm.exe" with the quotation marks and see if it starts.

Sorry if i ask stuped questions, but i realy can't understand you. Yup, i have all the latest drivers. I installed everything before two days. Double click (left button) the computer icon on your desktop, it will be a pic of a computer screen, your C: drive, it could be named something else on yours but will still have the C: with the name, (WinVista on mine) thats the one i mean, double click your C: drive and then a list of folders should be listed, it might say "show hidden folders and files" or something like that, if it does, click show them. If your saying you have 32bit, i dont think it will be the problem i've explained, are you definitely sure its 32bit, reason i ask is i've noticed nearly all computers seem to sold 64bit rather than 32bit, recently anyway. I'm going to find out what i can about 32bit and fm probs, ok mate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
into pitch black Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Vista and 7: C:\Users\<User Name>\App Data\Roaming Once you can see inside those folders delete the Sports Interactive Folder. If you can’t see those folders you will have to make “Hidden” files viewable. For Vista and 7: In a window, go to 'Organize'->'Folder and Search Options'->'View'-> and select 'Show hidden files and folders' Found this on searching on here, corrupted cache files, worth a go too.

sumercho Posted June 3, 2010 Author Share Posted June 3, 2010 @Jasonius, it doesn't work. @into pitch black, i'm sure it's 32-bit. I hope you'll find something for me. Damn, so many years I'm playing without any problems and now everything f*cked up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sumercho Posted June 3, 2010 Author Share Posted June 3, 2010 And again nothing works. Huh, I'm desperate now. Is there any problem that I installed the game in ( D: ) ???

Sorry that I'm wasting your time, you could've spent it for much more entertaining things. As a rule your main disk drive, windows is on it, your files, your games, music etc, is usually listed as your C: drive, your DVD/CD drive is usually D:, they can be different, i mean its just a letter to represent it, so it doesn't really matter, all you have to remember i, when someone gives you a file path to follow, its usually starts C:\user\..........whatever comes next, if you main disk is represented by D:, you change it to D:\USER.......simple really. Do me a favour mate, Click Start, type system in the search program and files box, and then click system in the control panel list, on the page that comes up it will tell you if your computer is 32bit or 64 bit. Also dont worry about us needing more entertaining things to do, we are nerds therefore we need this to stimulate our minds Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JR866Gunner Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 I had to go to c:program files\sports interactive\football manager 2010\FM.exe then copy that exe as a shortcut on the desktop then normally should run, this happened to me on vista first time round for me but all good on 7 so far. have you right clicked the shortcut for FM and checked the location its starting in mine is currently: "C:\Program Files\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2010" and the target just above is : "C:\Program Files\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2010\fm.exe" Check yours and post back!

trekman Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 If its a new pc did you download and install the latest versions of both Java and Directx? The game needs these to work. Just because you've got a new pc dont assume that it will be virus free. I bought a new pc a few years ago from one of my local high street shops and when I got it home and set it up it had a virus on it! I know its probably very rare that this kind of thing happens but it does occasionally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sumercho Posted June 3, 2010 Author Share Posted June 3, 2010 No, it doesn't start from the shortcut and the paths are exactly the same as yours. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sumercho Posted June 3, 2010 Author Share Posted June 3, 2010 Installed java, but everything is the same. :[ I found something strange. When i list the installed programs in Control Panel I can't found FM 2010. So the system isn't recognizing the program as installed. May be that's the problem??
