bassett1 Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Muzchap, I understand your last post about this. However i have spent 2 days messing with things, The broken disc is something that i think is a realistic error in my eyes, I cant see how so many people would have issues, And why would SI release a game now, with all these problesm. Surely the game has been tested.... bad lot of disc i think! i may pop to tesco and buy another 1, then take the old one back tommorrow. My origional was from game, chesterfield uk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolvesfansam Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 It could well be depending on your operating system. It's well worth downloading it to your desktop, or the directory where FM is, and then double clicking on it from there.This still doesn't help, as I'm still getting the "Windows has found a problem with this file -Unknown publisher" message. Is it possible to get the patch elsewhere instead from RapidShare? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can force the game into Windowed Mode using command line options. 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 --small_screen and --windowed command line option after "fm.exe", so it should look like this:"C:\Program Files\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2009\fm.exe" --small_screen --windowed Press OK and then try to run the game as normal, using the shortcut. If you don't have a shortcut you can make one and then perform the instructions on the shortcut you've made. If you purchased and installed the game through Steam you should be able to find the fm.exe in the following directory:C:/Program Files/Steam/SteamApps/Common/Football Manager 2009/ If you purchased and installed the game from a boxed DVD copy you should be able to find the fm.exe in the following directory:C:/Program Files/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2009/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
