Windows FM11 Installation Problem

[Deslandes]

So, my computer crashed and was formated. I installed Windows XP Professional some moments ago, and, as I'm going to some countryside house the next 2 days, I decided to install FM11 so that I could have some fun there if I had nothing to do.
Then I installed the game, but, when I went to "My Documents" folder to paste the saved game I had copied to a USB pen before, there wasn't any Sports Interactive folder there.
And when I run the game, it doesn't open and it says sth about a graphics problem.

What can I do?

Yes, the usual things. data, fm, all the stuff which used to be there before the formatting

Sorry if I seem blunt, but it seems to happen a lot. People don't bother checking if someone else already had the problem they had.
