You could try browsing directly to the folder the game is installed to on your machine.

It should resemble something like this:

C:/Program Files/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2008

Inside there you should find the "fm.exe". If you double-click on that you should be able to launch the game.

Sounds like it hasn't installed properly mate - reinstall it then do this:

1. Open up the folder you installed it to (write down where the game installs it to then type that 'address' into the explorer bar. It'll open up the folder).

2. Press the Print screen button on your keyboard.

3. Open up paint and press Paste (control and V) to paste the screenshot in.

4. Save the file to your desktop.

5. Go to www.imageshack.us and upload the file.

6. Find the bottom link that it gives you, and copy it here.

This should then allow us to start figuring out the problem.
