After Launching via Steam I get an error message saying "football manager 2010 10.1.0f84847 has stopped working" or the game fails to Launch
The most common fix for the game failing to launch is that you need to verify your skin cache. To do so, right click on the FM icon and then select properties > local files > verify integrity of game cache.
Then you should update your DirectX, download and install from the following link: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
This should solve the issue.
When launching the game you receive the following Error: “FM.exe application error. The application has failed to initialize correctly (0xC0150002). Click on OK to stop the application.”
This can be resolved by updating DirectX and the Microsoft Dot.Net framework, please visit the following URL to download these:

I cannot find the Football Manager 2010 shortcut to launch the game?
Microsoft Windows Vista
and the “Games For Windows” scheme handles installation differently to previous versions of the Windows operating system. The game information is stored in the “Games Explorer” which is a new feature of Microsoft Windows Vista.
It is completely normal for no game shortcuts to be placed on the Desktop or within the Start Menu.
To find the Football Manager 2010 shortcut on Microsoft Windows Vista you need to browse to the Games Explorer.
Because there are different versions of Vista, including Vista Home, Vista Premium, Vista Ultimate, etc, the Games Explorer may be found in different locations, this also depends on whether you're using the Classic Start Menu or not.
The most common locations for the Windows Games Explorer include:
1: Click “Start”
2: Click “Games”
Or
1: Click “Start”
2: Click “All Programs”
3: Click “Games”
4: Click “Games Explorer”
Alternatively you can search for Games Explorer by doing the following:
1: Click “Start”
2: Click inside the “Search” box
3: Type “Games Explorer”
4: Select “Games Explorer” when it appears and it should open.
You can also manually browse to where Football Manager 2010 is installed on your system and run the game from there. The default location is:
C:/Program Files/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2010
In here you will see the game executable which is called “FM.exe” or simply “FM” if you are not viewing file extensions. You can create a shortcut to this file by right clicking the “FM.exe” file and selecting “Create Shortcut” you can then copy this shortcut to wherever you wish to move it
