Delete the cache folder for settings:-

XP
1. Open up any folder on your machine. Go Tools > Folder Options > View Tab and tick ‘Show hidden files and folders’

2. Go here

C:\Documents and Settings\<User Name>\Application Data\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2009

and delete the settings folder

VISTA (EDIT: IGNORE THE WEIRD STUFF <LI itxtvisited='1'>, just a cut and paste issue)


A.
<LI itxtvisited=“1”>Close all programs so that you are at your desktop. <LI itxtvisited=“1”>Click on the Start button. This is the small round button with the Windows flag in the lower left corner. <LI itxtvisited=“1”>Click on the Control Panel menu option.
When the control panel opens you can either be in Classic View or Control Panel Home view:

If you are in the Classic View do the following:<LI itxtvisited=“1”>Double-click on the Folder Options icon. <LI itxtvisited=“1”>Click on the View tab.
Go to step 5.

If you are in the Control Panel Home view do the following:<LI itxtvisited=“1”>Click on the Appearance and Personalization link . <LI itxtvisited=“1”>Click on Show Hidden Files or Folders.
Go to step 5.<LI itxtvisited=“1”>Under the Hidden files and folders section select the radio button labeled Show hidden files and folders. <LI itxtvisited=“1”>Remove the checkmark from the checkbox labeled Hide extensions for known file types. <LI itxtvisited=“1”>Remove the checkmark from the checkbox labeled Hide protected operating system files. <LI itxtvisited=“1”>Press the Apply button and then the OK button and shutdown My Computer.
Now Windows Vista is configured to show all hidden files.
B. Go here

C:\Users\<User Name>\AppData\Roaming\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2009\

and delete the settings folder

That should stop the parsing error from showing up. I'm assuming you already downloaded it based on your post but if you haven't the suggested remedy for frequent parsing errors is to download Microsoft XML Parser latest version. Do a search as I'm sure links have been posted before (alternatively try google).

Game already running

Open Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Delete), click the Processes tab, locate the fm.exe process, highlight it and click ‘End Process’. You can ignore the stability warnings etc. and press OK. Then start FM again.
