Steam is the only way if you dont want to use a disk, how come you dont want to use it? its good, updates your game for you etc with no effort to go and find the patches to download
Thanks for reply.
1) I don't want to use steam as I've already bought the game on DVD and use it on my desktop PC and can only play the game on one machine at a time anyway.
2) I try my hardest to never pay for anything over the Internet that requires to to give my credit or debit card details (call me paranoid if you like).
3) I like to choose what updates I use, i.e. make sure they work and that I'm happy with changes made to database etc. before I install and use them. 10.0.3 for example, has given the Liverpool players a real pounding in terms of stats and database ratings. Fair enough you might say on this season's performances, but they didn't get a hike last season following finishing second in the prem.
Thanks to Jake for suggesting Daemon Tools Lite to create a disk image on the hard disk and run from there instead.
I've had variable success with these types of programs in the past, but I can confirm that the above works, even if the software's not very friendly.
First I created the disk image and then mounted it as instructed. FM 2010 installed successfully from the disk image on the hard disk and seems to play successfully on my Medion notebook.
Next step is to install update 10.0.3 (possibly edit the Liverpool players stats and dBase ratings), add a decent skin and try it out. I'll let you know how I get on.
Thanks Jake

Thanks again Jake
Just to confirm I have updated to 10.3.0 and have added FM 07/09 skin which has an option for tree menu on right (I much prefer this to the new FM 2010 layout) but would really like to use an updated version of Steklo 09 as this is best skin I've ever used!
I can confirm that it runs very nicely, obviously not superfast, on my Medion notebook and the 3D match screen runs acceptably smoothly as well.
