solstar Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 There IS something about this in the stickies. It suggests that you need to uninstall and reinstall from the HKey in the regedit. Have a better look, it's def there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

solstar Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Are you gay? ok, nothing wrong in that. So the problem is certificates...ok these should be within the Sports Interactive folder, but you have 2 or 3 folders when you install. So do a search using Start Menu and under folders and files type FM2009 or SI or sports interactive, things like this. If it brings things up then delete them as you have or should have already deleted the game, then reinstall and go into those mentioned folders and look for the certificates. If on the other hand you haven't uninstalled, use the search facility to find the certificate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
