Help from an IT geek please?

[DTS]

Lads help me,

With Mrs DtS set to drop I am looking at 10 days off. Decided a good idea would be to get the new FM.

Did the usual istallation thing and it said all installed fine. Click on the short cut on my desk top and I get a big red cross and its says

fm.exe - Application Error

The application failed to initalzie propery (0xc015002). Click on OK to terminate this application.

HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!

Have installed and reinstalled it three times and it still wont work. What the **** does this mean. I have all the required package, sound card etc.

???

All I know is that on the older versions of CM/FM you had to download a programme called qfix.app to run them through Windows XP. Give it a quick google fella.

Dave, have you downloaded the latest service pack update thing for XP? Asked a mate here at work and he had this problem and error message but with Microsoft Office. He reinstalled the service pack and it worked again. Might do for FM 09 as well... Worth a try if all else fails

Have you got Norton Dave? Might be something to do with that, after doing a quick google search.
