Its a vista thing...somepeople get it some dont, i got it and managed to get help from some SI guy, it turned out the game had actually installed fine...and you go into games to get icon to start up a game...

If it hasn't been mentioned already, I would suggest navigating to the cd drive you have the FM CD in and right-clicking the setup.exe file.

When the menu pops up, left-click the Run as administrator option.

Allow the program to run when Windows asks.

After this install the game as usual and see what happens.

Hes not having problems installing its at the end of the installation...its a known vista problem for some users..

Install it and go :start -> All Programs -> Games -> Games Explorer.

Wether it comes up with the error message or not it should be in there...hope this works for you :thup:

Still not working. Just still get a white screen

If that is the case then okay but the message that comes up under those circumstances is usually "The installation of Football Manager 2008 is finished, but some errors occurred during installation. Please see the installation log for details."

The threadstarter used the phrase "serious errors have occured during the installation."

Due to this, I was assuming that the problem was different.

Try doing searches in the support for pc users forum, there a few threads in there about vista white screens?

Run the 'setup' on the fm cd as 'the administrator', also install the latest java update from www.java.com, which might not make any difference .....but worth a try.

The only problem I have on Vista x64 is the data editor isn't working, which I don't know if it's a vista related problemn or not.

Still the same problem.
It says. The installation is complete but there has been serious errors..."

I've tried everything listed above and nothing is wroking. And when I go into 'games explorer' its not there.

Looked back through threads in the support forum and just posted me system info there so hopefully the mod will be able to help

Thanks for all your help though.

Anyone else?
