XML Parsing Error

When suffering from XML errors we advise downloading a newer version of XML Parser from Microsoft, this can be done so from this link:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...2b-b4f2-46da-b4b6-c5d7485f2b42&displaylang=en

I can't play the game due to an XML parsing error

If you have a shortcut on your desktop you can do the following:
Right-click on the FM shortcut.
Choose "Properties" from the pop-up menu.
In the "Target" field, add the --reset_preferences command line option after "fm.exe", so it should look like this:
"C:\Program Files\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2009\fm.exe" --reset_preferences
Press OK and then try to run the game as normal, using the shortcut.
You'll want to remove the command after you run the game, as otherwise it will continue to reset your preferences every time you launch.

If you don't have a shortcut you can make one and then perform the instructions on the shortcut you've made.
If you purchased and installed the game through Steam you should be able to find the fm.exe in the following directory:
C:/Program Files/Steam/SteamApps/Common/Football Manager 2009/
If you purchased and installed the game from a boxed DVD copy you should be able to find the fm.exe in the following directory:
C:/Program Files/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2009/

Other XML Errors

Delete the following folder:

XP: C:\Documents and Settings\[your username]\Application Data\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2009\settings

Vista: C:\Users\[your username]\AppData\Roaming\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2009\settings

This may solve some issues regarding the XML Errors

If your screen is just going black then do this instead
 
My problem is that whenever I finish a match my computer restarts even though it seemed to be working fine, is this an XML parsing error? can I do anything abou it?
 
Okay so I'm pretty sure I have followed all of these directions, however not only can I not load a game, but also still cannot save a new game either. when I attempt to load the game, it quits out halfway and gives "the save game cannot be loaded" message. What could be the reason for this?
 
i need hepl because every time i load up fm 2009 i cant load my previously saved game!!!

help please
 
That usually means its corrupt.

Did you turn off your PC while FM was still running?

Wrong section anyway.
 
MY TACTICS KEEP CHANGING!!! Every time i change my tactics i.e. forward runs often and change the runs my players make, i click away then go back to my squad and its back to the default formation and runs!!! i also tried saving it. What can i do? its really ******* me off! i've never had any problems with the other FM
