Hi there,
Having issues. Suddenly my game has stopped working. No reason why! I haven't installed any new features, or uninstalled any. It just stopped. When i open it it starts to load, then cuts to "PCM has stopped responding... windows is checking for a solution..."
Never gets any further than this. I'm up to date with patches, etc. I do have the short races DB installed and PCM Daily 2009. The game was working fine with those.
I have just tried unistalling and re-installing... Same problem. I don't get it!
Anyone got any ideas?!?! |

Did you do a complete uninstall, including appdata? |

As Deadpool said, a full complete uninstall, including deleting every single PCM file off your computer should sort it out. I suspect there is a DB problem somewhere along the lines either in your "My Documents/Pro Cycling Manager 2008/Database" bit or the Program Files/PCM08 bit. Thats normally what I got when I did something wrong with DBs.

Did a complete uninstall, including appdata. Still hasn't solved the issue. |

Do you have windows firewall running?
Are you running PCM as administrator?
Do you have any other firewall blocking PCM from accessing the internet?
Have you registered your installation?

Sounds like a strange one.
The problem might not even be PCM related - have you made any system changes, etc recently? |

Fenian... You just kicked my brain into gear. I havent made any system, changes lately, but unfortunately a virus may have. Will have to try a full wipe of the system, see if that kicks it.
RJC... No, i dont have a firewall on;
Yes im running it as admin,;
Not to my knowledge but avast anti virus may be stopping it???;
YES! Most definately... even had to get a new license off of cyanide! |

Quite a shame to have to reinstall the system - but I'm glad you got it working  |
