when ever i run FM 2011

when ever i run FM 2011 the game crashes and a message box appears
Cannot run game:Failed to set up graphic system

fm 2010 ran smoothly in my PC with 2d engine but fm 11 doesn't open at all

You need to install DirectX I believe.

I'm stumped mate. Ask a green name, they should be able to help.

Maybe a bad installation?

Does your computer meet the system requirements?

Does your computer meet the system requirements?

not for 3d but this link says that older cards may run the game in 2d

Post your computers technical specifications.

If it doesn't meet the requirements, that is your problem.

Just because it could run FM10 doesn't mean it should be able to run FM11. Especially if it doesn't meet the requirements of either of them. You where probably lucky FM10 ran.
