Hi,

I bought FM2008 earlier today and installed it with no trouble on my PC running Vista x64. When I run the game the visual display moves half way up my screen so I lose the top half of the page.

I have tried all the possible resolution settings I can use and all are as bad as my normal 1440x900 widescreen (32bit).

I am running well over the recommended spec on everthing and can't work out why this is happening to me.

2400+AMD processor
2GB ram
256MB Ge-force 7200gs
latest direct x
latest windows and graphics updates

Anybody got any ideas to help me out here?

Tesco won't take it back and I really want to win the Champions league!

Errm, try opening one thread in the bug section. There was a thread about resolutions somewhere. Search the forum please, im too tired

what happens when you play in windowed mode?

I can't get into windowed mode as the option to change to it doen't appear on the screen and I have no idea how to navigate there since I can't see it.

I think windowed mode might work though

Try adding the following to the 'Target' on your shortcut:

-fullscreen=true -fullscreen_width=1440 -fullscreen_height=900

(note, space required at the start)

Some user systems apparently don't need the -fullscreen=true part, but mine did.
