    ok, pretty good new laptop, trying to install football manager 2007. wont let me install it. it says - "the installer is unable to run in graphical mode, try running the installer with the -console- or -silent flag." what do i have to do:S??

    my laptop spec is :

    windows vista home premium

    Toshiba - intel core 2cpu T5200 @ 1.60ghz
    ram - 1014mb

    Is your desktop set to True colour (32-bit)?
    Check this by right clicking a blank part of your windows desktop and going 'settings'.

    Try changing your desktop resolution to 1024x768.

    I'm afraid I can't think of anything else. Can you try running the installer with the -console command, and see if the game works?
