Just started as Leeds manager and got 100k transfer kitty to spend.

Jeeesus wept, dig deep, Kenneth.

Just A Quick Question...

Right I Had Football Manager 2009 Installed On My Previous Hard-Drive Which Then Broke Beyond Repair, So I Tried Installing On My New Hard-Drive Via Steam, I Thought Everything Had Gone Well It All Installed And Then The Updates Installed Automatically, But When I Tried To Launch The Game Nothing Happened The Option Was There I Pressed It And It Give Me The Indication That Everything Was Fine But Nothing Happened...


So Then I Tried The Other Way To Install It But It Never Told Me To Activate It, It Installed The Data Then When I Tried To Click On The Shortcut To Start The Game It Brought This Up...

The top screenshot... you have to wait for it to load. It might be a while.. usually depends on how fast your pc is.

Yeah I Keep Trying Mate From The Steam Screen And From The Desktop Shortcut But Nothing...
I've Put It To The Si Team So I'll See If They Have The Answer, Cheers Anyway...

Just try uninstalling it, and installing it again.

Tried That But It Hasn't Worked Either...

Hmmm not sure, have you tried running FM on its own, instead of through steam?

Is that possible when you've bought it through steam?

The icon can be found at

C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\football manager 2009

what happens if you run it by that method?

Works a treat

Just Tried That Mate And It Brings Up The Following...

Can't help ya pal, I've had a nosey round the forums, somebody has mentioned it, but had no reply...
