i preseed windows button to minimise, and when i went to click back on it, its not appearing again! its happened before, and i had to ctrl alt deltte it! please help!

If it still appears on the task bar try pressing ALT+TAB until you get to the FM icon. Should reappear then.

Or use the Task Manager - Press CTRL+ALT+DEL and go to Task Manager and right click on Football Manager and click 'Switch To'

HTH

Are you using XP or Vista.

I do the same thing but have not experienced the same problem. I play the game and when I press "continue" I have a peek at the forums.

I always have alot of leagues running and can take a while to process.

Also, have you not had any success with windowed options. I have'nt as I've got a widescreen monitor and for some reason Vista does'nt like me trying windowed mode

Alt-Tab method works for me when this happens
