Hi my game crashed when I advanced day causing my PC to reboot, when I now load up the game the main menu comes up but locks on black screen with a red arrow on screen with music playing after I click play.

Any ideas out there how I can correct this problem?

Your save game is the problem. Delete it and your game will work perfectWink

Instead of deleting it, try to move it to your desktop. It's located in My Documents/Pro Cycling Manager/Database/Solo/<Name Of Your DB>/

If there's any other save games which you don't use, just delete them.

If it still doesn't work:

Q. How do I uninstall the game completely?

A. First, go to Start -> Programs -> Cyanide -> Pro Cycling Manager 2008 and find the uninstall-link. Next, go to "My Computer", your hard drive, "Program Files" -> Cyanide and delete the Pro Cycling Manager-folder. Then go to My Documents and delete the Pro Cycling Manager folder. Last thing is Start -> Run and type in %AppData% . A folder will open. Find the Pro Cycling Manager folder and delete it. The game is now completely uninstalled.

I removed the saved game to my desktop and the game now starts up fine, why as this happened and can I avoid this happening again?

There should be a backup of the save. It has the same name but has a ~ at the end. Just take this backup and put it back were it was (if you moved it to the desktop). Then remove the ~ and start the game.

There is no way to prevent crashes (unless you don't play the game) but you could make copies of your saves to prevent loss of a career.
