ok, pretty good new laptop, trying to install football manager 2007. wont let me install it. it says - "the installer is unable to run in graphical mode, try running the installer with the -console- or -silent flag." what do i have to do:S??

my laptop spec is :

windows vista home premium

Toshiba - intel core 2cpu T5200 @ 1.60ghz
ram - 1014mb
32 bit operating system

mobile intel 945gm express chipset family

i know the graphics card aint too gd, but football manager is just text....

Is your desktop set to True colour (32-bit)?
Check this by right clicking a blank part of your windows desktop and going 'settings'.

Try changing your desktop resolution to 1024x768.

I'm afraid I can't think of anything else. Can you try running the installer with the -console command, and see if the game works?
