	Log in to remove this sponsored message Football Manager 2008: Forum Rules Firstly I'd like to welcome you to the forum, where I believe you'll enjoy your stay and hopefully become a forum regular. In addition to the Forumwide Rules of Conduct, I would like to add a few rules which will be specific to this forum: Starting new threads quote Before you start a new thread, please check the Forum Index first or use the search feature to see if a thread already exists on your topic. Try to give your thread an appropriate title. Threads with titles along the lines of "HEEEEEEEEELPPP!11!!!!", "Urgent Help!", "Quick Question" etc etc, are not useful to the people who you are wanting to help you. It's also a good idea to post the full question in the thread title instead of "How Do I..." followed by the actual question in the post because: A) It identifies your question/problem instantly, and you're more likely to get your question answered faster. B) It will be beneficial to others who may have the same question as you and are using the search feature to look for answers to their questions. Player & Team help threads quote All player and team help threads should be posted in the FM2008 Player Help & Guides forum. If you're thinking of starting a new game, you might want to check to see if there is a guide on the team you want to manage by checking the Team Guides section in the Thread Index. The guide will help you on players to buy/sell, tactics to use, keys players, and club expectations. Posting in "txt/sms" style quote Do not type as if you're sending a text message from your mobile phone. You have a full sized QWERTY keyboard, so use it correctly. Any txt/sms posts will be edited accordingly, and the originator of the post will get a warning. Repeated warnings will result in a ban. Internet abbreviations such as "LOL", "ROTFL", "IMO" and "IIRC" are not subject to this rule. Posting in capitals quote On the Internet, posting in all capitals is the same as shouting and as such is considered rude and offensive. Threads or posts using only capitals will be edited accordingly, and the originator of the thread or post will get a warning. Repeated warnings will result in a ban. Spamming, Flaming, & Advertising quote If you see someone spamming the forum, then simply report the post but leave it in view to avoid people asking "what did the post say" for the next 3 or 4 posts. If the post is of an offensive nature, then obviously when you report it, take the post out of view to keep it out of view of the young members browsing the forum. Advertising other forums and websites is not allowed, and all posts of this nature should be reported and taken out of view. Finally, all reported posts should not be replied to. Replying to the post will only keep them going and will turn a small problem into a big one. The moderator(s) will deal with the reported post, and take the required action with originator of the post. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns please use the Requests, Feedback & Suggestions thread or PM a forum moderator. Only contact a super moderator as a last resort.

	Football Manager 2008: FAQ Microsoft Windows Vista Post Installation: I cannot find the Football Manager 2008 shortcut to launch the game? I can't install the game and I have Windows XP 64Bit My game installs, but then won't get past the splash screens. My game installs, but I get a black screen. The Installer will not run and / or I am getting a Java Error. My game installs, but I get a white screen. My Game Installs, I start a New Game and while it's loading I get a white screen. My Installer appears to be having problems starting. SecuROM Errors Microsoft Windows Vista Post Installation: I cannot find the Football Manager 2008 shortcut to launch the game? Top ^ quote Microsoft Windows Vista and the Games For Windows scheme handles installation differently to previous Windows operating systems. The game information is stored in the Games Explorer, which is new to Microsoft Windows Vista. It is completely normal for no game shortcuts to be placed on the Desktop or within the Start Menu. To find the Football Manager 2008 shortcut on Microsoft Windows Vista you need to browse to the Games Explorer. Because there are various flavours of Vista however, including Vista Home, Vista Premium, Vista Ultimate, etc, the Games Explorer may be found in different locations (also depending on whether you're using the Classic Start Menu or not). The most common ones include: - Start -> Games - Start -> All Programs -> Games -> Games Explorer Alternatively you can search for Games Explorer by going to: - Start -> Search -> type "Games Explorer" (without the quotes) - Select "Games Explorer" when it appears and it should open. You can also manually browse to where Football Manager 2008 is installed on your system and by default it is installed to the following location: - C:/Program Files/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2008/ Inside the folder "Football Manager 2008" you should see the game executable which is called "fm.exe" or simply "fm". Right-click on "fm.exe" and from the pop-up menu, select "Create Shortcut". This will create a shortcut called "Shortcut to fm.exe" or "Shortcut to fm". You can now place this file anywhere on your computer, such as your Desktop and double-click on it to launch the game. I can't install the game and I have Windows XP 64Bit Top ^ quote There is a known problem here. If you are getting this please follow these instructions. - Create a temporary folder on your machine, such as C:/FM2008. - Copy the entire contents of the CD into this folder. - Once that's finished, go to the following location: - "C:/FM2008/Disk1/InstData/Windows/VM/" - In here you should find "setup.exe". - Right-click on "fm.exe" and from the pop-up menu select "Properties". - A window will appear. Select the "Compatibility" tab. - Select the 'Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and choose "Windows XP" from the available options). The game should now install Normally. My game installs, but then won't get past the splash screens. Top ^ quote This is a rather common issue and in most cases you can resolve this by updating your graphics card drivers. You can look at the date of your driver by viewing your dxdiag results. The dxdiag analysis tool provides you with non personal computer information, such information like what operating system you are running, how much memory you have, what drivers you have on your machine and other technical information. The information you are interested in is the manufacture of your graphics card and the driver version and date. The majority of graphics cards are based on the ATI or nVidia chipsets or integrated on-board Intel chips. Their websites will point you to the latest drivers for their graphics chips. Download ATI Graphics Card Drivers Here Download Intel Integrated Graphics Chipsets Drivers Here Download Nvidia Drivers Here Note: Some laptop manufacturers will provide their own versions of these drivers and therefore if you are using a laptop, you should visit the manufacturer's website and check for any drivers available for your laptop model number. My game installs, but I get a black screen. Top ^ quote Please follow the steps to the issue above (My game installs, but then won't get past the splash screens). The Installer will not run and / or I am getting a Java Error. Top ^ quote In some cases you may be advised to try to uninstall any current Java version on your system, and install the latest version of Java from Sun. This describes how to do this. Uninstall Java Runtime Environment 1. Click the "Start" menu. 2. Click "Settings" and then "Control Panel". 3. Double click "Add/Remove Programs". 4. In the "Add or Remove Programs" dialog, scroll down until you find the program called "Java Runtime Environment". 5. Click "Remove" to uninstall "Java Runtime Environment". 6. When asked to confirm removing Java from the system, press "Ok". 2. Install the latest Java Runtime Environment (JRE) manually 1. Download the latest Java from Sun's Java download page. 2. Install Java by double-clicking on the file you just downloaded, and follow the instructions. Uninstall the Java SDK 1. If you have a Java SDK installed, then this may also be causing some problems in some cases. 2. In this case, do the same as in step #1 above. 3. Once in "Add/Remove Programs", choose to uninstall anything that starts with "Java". 4. This should mean that, combined with #1 above, you now have not got any Java installed. 5. Now Try to Run the FM08 Installer Install the latest Java SDK (JDK) manually 1. As a last resort, you may want to try to install the full Java SDK (JDK) rather than the (smaller) Java Runtime Environment (JRE). In some cases this has been reported to help. 2. Go to the Sun Java download page, and click "Download" for the latest "JDK Update" (Currently this is: "JDK 6.0 Update 3"). 3. You will be taken to a download page for the JDK installation. 4. Click on the link that says "Windows Offline Installation, Multi-language". 5. Download this file to your computer somewhere (e.g. the desktop, or another folder). 6. Once the download has completed, double click the file you just downloaded. 7. Follow the instructions in the Java installer dialog to install Java on your computer. 8. Restart your machine once Java is installed. 9. Now try to run the FM08 installer. My game installs, but I get a white screen. Top ^ quote This is commonly a Java issue. Please follow the steps above to resolve it. (The Installer will not run and / or I am getting a Java Error). My Game Installs, I start a New Game and while it's loading I get a white screen. Top ^ quote This is the VISTA 'Not Responding' response, please wait for a while and your game should load normally (Even though it appears to be doing nothing). My Installer appears to be having problems starting. Top ^ quote Please make sure you are installing the game on a User account that doesn't have and special characters. For example. Instead of: Usérá You should make it: Usera Special characters can cause a conflict when running programs. SecuROM Errors Top ^ quote In the first instance of this happening please quit Football Manager 2008, eject your disc, and then re-insert your disc. In many cases this appears to be making the game work correctly. If this fails please reboot your machine and try again. If this fails again then please follow the steps outlined by SecuROM below. How To: Solve the "Please insert Original Disk" Security Error: You will need to send a few pieces of information to SecuROM themselves to help with this issue. To do this please follow the steps below: If your software title launch problem cannot be solved with the hints given on the corresponding message section, please send a detailed error description and a SecuROM analysis file to support@securom.com. Please consult the following steps to generate this analysis file. We developed this easy-to-use and effective error analysis tool to retrieve information necessary to locate the problem. The information contained in the analysis file is compressed and encrypted. 1. Make sure the original disc (play or launch disc) is in a local CD or DVD-ROM drive. 2. Please reboot your computer and do not start any additional applications. 3. 'Right-click' (click the right button of your mouse) on the desktop shortcut (icon) of the program/game or the actual SecuROM protected executable which can be found in the installation directory of the program/game. 4. A dialog menu will appear. Choose 'Launch Analysis' from the menu choices. 5. After selecting 'Launch Analysis', a disclaimer window will appear. 6. To proceed, please click onto the 'Yes' button. 7. The program will now generate an 'AnalysisLog.sr0' file within the root of your C:\ directory. 8. Please 'zip' (archive) this file (to avoid email corruption) and send it to our official email address support@securom.com together with a description of your problem (e.g. screenshots, further details). Alternatively you can install the beta 8.0.1 patch and this will remove all the SecuROM errors. Original FAQ by Steve Cox @ SI Community Forums FM08 Editor - MSVCP71.dll error fix If you see the message in the quote box when you try to start the editor, please follow the steps below to fix the error. quote msvcp71.dll error "This application has failed to start because MSVCP71.dll was not found.
