when i save my game and then click on it another day to play it. it comes up with a pop box saying not well-formed(invalid token) at line 1 of last_saved_game.xml. can anyone help me to resolve this because i have to start a new game again and its getting annoying , and there isnt a tech issues topic to put this on and please don't close this topic off . And then .While FM08 is loading up right at the start , that pop up box comes up and it says what i put earlier and then when the start is on with the new game , load last saved game and load game and so on is on there the load last saved game bit isnt lighted up with my last game ready to load up. so i click on load game and double click on my last game i want and then it starts loading and it does a little bit and then it says ' The saved game could not be loaded' so i have to start a new game again and then it does it again and its annoying so i dont know what to do about it ...

4. Any Sports Interactive files in your Registry.

Also before you reinstall the game this document on SIbase explains in detail how to check your disk for errors. If you are checking the same partition as the Windows system disk (which you are), it will ask you to reboot to perform the check - you need to do this to so it can do the check.

You can also find more information on the Microsoft support pages which says to run 'chkdsk' with the '/f' command line option, which should repair any problems with the file system table.

Once you have done this install the game again and see if this has helped to fix your problem.

Try using paragraphs and punctuation in future

Hopefully that will help you - you're new to the forums and I'm just making sure that when you post in future, you can post clearer so that you can get better replies. It's just a constructive tip.

Thank you for the tip . My gramma and punctuation isn't brilliant as i am only 14 but it will pick up in the future. Thank you

Theres one problem ... i can't find the Cache thing and i cant find the sports interactive files in my registry ... because i dont know where to find them on my computer .

retired_teanerra · 02-08-2008, 11:50 PM

right , i uninstalled FM08 and i deleted my sports interactive folder in program files and i deleted sports interactive folder in my documents but i didnt delete the other 2 that you said because i couldnt find them . so i installed FM08 again and then when it started loading up a pop up box came up and it said ' did not find font resources' and it just had a blank white screen...
What do i need to do to fix it
