1) Create a shortcut to fm.exe.

2) Right click on the shortcut and choose Properties.

3) In the Target box add --reset_preferences and press OK.

4) Double click on the shortcut to run the game and it will reset the FM preferences stored on your game and fix the 'Black Screen' problem.

Sounds like you're making a typing error. Make sure you haven't deleted or mispalced the "'s by mistake.

try putting a space between the file path and your window code
 
is this the right place for when ur at the screen where it says loading in loads of different types on languages, then jus freezes?

if so this isnt working for me

does it matter that ive installed mine through steam?
