I updated my graphic card drivers (Radeon 9600 XT) and installed
DirectX Nov 2007. I reboot my pc and had a problem with VGA SAFE MODE.After recovering my original graphic driver and uninstalling the directxI tried to run FM 08 and it launches, commercials, passes and before I can see the main menu the game shuts down. No errors. After I managed to succesfully install new Ati driver and install DirectX August 2007, I tried to run the game and it's still the same problem.
can anybody help?

You tried 'System Restore' to a date when your FM/Computer worked?

No, too much thing I've installed and did on my PC to lose it now.
Is there any other way?
Maybe a crack can help?
have u tried to reinstall FM?

u might not want to do that.

1 thing that has helped many in similiar situations is that if u: right click on the shortcut, go to "properties" then on the "flicks" above go to "compatability" then where it says compatability(something) click the box on it and you should be able to choose from different "windows" and change those or if the box is already ticked then untick it and try, might work.

Yes, I reinstalled FM, but it did not help.
And if I did what u've suggested,
it says "the game did not meet system reuirements". :(
I did install also other games, and only one gave me problems:
Rainbows Six - Lockdown. :(

what i just told you to do, did u do it? because my mates got the exact same problem, after changing according to my instructions then the game worked fine.

You say you have installed 'too much' stuff but it's since then you have had so many problems.

It's like with football when you have so many mistakes you go back to 'basics' to correct things.

Unless you know what the problem is, the only way to fix it is to go back to a time when things where okay!

@RedArmy20 - I did what u've said and it did not work :(
still it says "system did not meet minimum requirements" :(

@ground_folds - I tried to do system restore, but I found out,
that I don't have any system restore points to go back to :(
My PC is running 24/7, so I reboot it only when it's necessary :/

I tried FMLOADER but the problem remains :(

looks that way, but the FM save game is more important, than the system :)
I'll try a couple of things and if u have some ideas then
write them here :)

do u think that windows repair from windows cd would help?
not format, but only repair?
i'm not a big fan of frequently reinstalling my pc,
but might this thing work?

Can you not put your FM save on to CD, DVD, External Hard Drive, etc.?
