Netbook won't open Football Manager when I start the game

Hi, first of all just to make sure you have gone to 'set launch options' and wrote in the box "--small_screen --windowed" (without the " ").

Good, if its still not working there is an alternative:

1. Head on over and download this skin made for netbooks. http://www.fmscout.com/a-netbook-skin-for-fm-2012.html and follow the instructions further down on the the page, there are two addition methods described under "applying the skin"
