If it is the same issue that happened to me when you try to install the game nothing happens. It took me ages to get it working on windows 10 but I finally managed it. On my task manager there was a program running called vprotect. I ended task and instantly started working. I have tried to look in task manager but cant find the vprotect.

Was this for Windows 10? I am getting so frustrated with this game lol!!!! My laptop says there is loads of things running in the background but I don't know what's what and I've tried what Microsoft have said in the above post but still nothing, are you able to help?

To help troubleshoot error messages and other issues, you can start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs.

Top Free Agents on FM Absolute Best Coaches in FM CM has since evolved to include more leagues, more information, more statistics and greater tactical control, but even after a decade of updates, at its heart CM remains the same addictive-as-hell game with a cast iron guarantee of hours, days, weeks, months of anguish, tension and sheer enjoyment.

The game can become an obsession. You think it at work or in the car, wondering if Michael Bridges can cut it at the top level or just how long can Teddy Sheringham compete in Premiership "no" and "two seasons maximum" are the answers. CM is also a breaker of homes - just ask my missus after she hasn't heard from me for six hours and another essential DIY project is left undone for another weekend. So we've established Sports Interactive's title is the greatest management sim ever, and for many, the greatest PC game ever.

But what about the nuts and bolts - how do you turn Southend United into Real Madrid? How do you keep Doug Ellis happy without spending any cash? Well, you take over a team from any one of about 20 countries , pick a squad, train them, select a tactical system that works and then pick the side and watch them play - in an exciting, text-only way of course.

To complicate matters there are injuries, transfers, money matters, player contracts, demanding chairmen, demanding fans, demanding players and their evil agents, the media poking their noses in, the FA and of course other managers, like Sir Alex, tapping up your best players.

What the already initiated among you will want to know is what's changed since last time. The most obvious is the new player database. Well, it's only about three weeks behind - Stam has been kicked out of United, Dean Richards is at Spurs, but Peter Taylor has not been sacked by Leicester yet.

As well as the database being up to date, so is the transfer system - a few weeks into the first season, a new UEFA directive, which is far too complicated to go into here, comes into force. There are wordy, on-screen explanations, but basically there is less of the Bosman free-for-all approach to transfers and smaller clubs are more likely to be financially compensated for the loss of a key player. The teams are represented in almost too much detail - take over Manchester United, Inter, Bayern Munich or Real Madrid and the board will want the Champions League, but you'll have pots of cash.

Celtic or Rangers want the Premier League and a good show in Europe. The chairmen on the middle ranking side like Spurs, Aston Villa or Newcastle will want a UEFA Cup place, but you'll have a limited transfer fund and really need to sell to get any quality in.

Anything lower and the quest becomes survival with very limited funds, and more often than not, a huge debt that needs to be cleared before any new players can be bought - only year-old pros or teenage hopefuls are usually available for free. That brings me on to the first main modification - manager power. Fed up of chairmen giving you the brush-off?

Well, now you can deliver a "back me or sack me" ultimatum. And in an eerie echo of the George Graham sacking, I demanded Spurs to put their short arms into their deep pockets to fund our Inter Toto campaign - and was dumped on the spot.

Thankfully, I was rescued from the jobseekers queue by a plum job at Chesterfield. A similar feature allows you to appeal to the FA against a sending off - do it once and you might get a key player's ban reduced. Do it too often and you'll get a reputation as a whinger and never be taken seriously again. The optional attribute-masking mode is a great addition, which sometimes prevents you getting a full run-down of a player's abilities.

You might know if he's a good header of the ball, but his determination, work-rate and stamina will be a mystery, until your scouts have had a good look at him. The football world is packed with examples of players who were not scouted properly and came a cropper - remember Savo Milosevic of who Aston Villa manager had only seen a compilation video of him in action. And there was the embarrassing matter of the new 'George Weah' picked by Graham Souness at Southampton who had to be pulled off after five minutes because he quite clearly hadn't a clue.

The same applies now - scout the players first, then buy. You can also have the scouts watch your next opposition. Do this and in the run-up to each match you get an automatic run-down on the other side - their preferred formation, how they play and who the key players are.

Being told that Michael Owen is out injured is a big help. Comparing two players side-by-side on screen to see who's best is also possible now. Some might find this useful, but after a few comparisons, we didn't really bother with it and would not miss it. Likewise the new memo system, which allows managers to put reminders on a players file, such as to renew a contract or look at a transfer prospect. The only modification we have yet to come across in our first three seasons is to send a player away for surgery on recurring injuries.

Despite having a sicknote Anderton in and out of my team, my physio never once suggested he go away for this miracle cure. As you can see, there are some great and some not so great little add-ons and improvements, but they are just that - little add-ons. At least they take nothing away from the previous incarnation. As a stand-alone game, this is CM and superb as always.

However, as the game is so damned addictive and has a large following, we doubt Eidos or Sports Interactive will have any trouble shifting these by the barrowful.
