    I am playing football manager 2011 on my laptop. But the game keeps crashing :(

    I just get a little tab saying Nvidia driver error (as factory installed) and it has recovered successfully.

    Whats the issue???? Why wont my laptop play this game????

    Try installing the new 257.33 drivers

    It's in one of the so-called "latest nvidia drivers" thread

    I don't have any driver issues playing fm11 using this driver.

    It keeps crashing when loading the 3D match engine :(

    When I get home from work I will try to install the new driver with the modded inf file.

    I will report back if that works.

    You could try and run the game with the intel graphics. Just open up the Nvidia configuration and change it from default to Intel for that specific game.

    hey,

    I get the exact same problem and its very very annoying. funny part is it never use to.

    my question is, where do you find the nvidea configuration?

    I went into the nvidea control panel and couldnt find anything that would change to intel.

    Right click on the fm11 game icon and run with intel intergrated graphics.

    I have now changed my settings to always run on intel for this game and it runs nice and smooth :)

    I still like to play it in windowed mode tho

    I dont get that option when I right click on the exe. only option for running the game is run as administrator.

    I go into properties and there's nothing in there either.
