    Well, in game i just unticked the 'Full Screen' box in preferences. I get the error 'Changing the screen settings failed. Make sure your system supports the settings.' Now I would presume my system can handle the settings, it runs most of the newer games(BF2, F.E.A.R etc) quite well. So has anyone else had this error and/or managed to solve the problem?

    Seems to be the same problem as FM2005, it seems to be random. One of my mates got that with FM2005 depsite having the same GFX card, and a far superior rest of the rig. But mine could window and his couldn't. Strangle one! :D

    Unless you have a crappy screen like where you have only two options 800x600 or 1024x768. :(
