    Use this if it doesn't let you play FM using the window mode, this neat trick will fix that problem:
    1. Right click the game shortcut (on the desktop, the quick launch bar or in the start menu)
    2. Go to the "Shortcut" tab
    3. In the "Target" area, add the following: "-small_screen -windowed" without the quotes
    4. If you have installed the game to a location with spaces in the path there will be quotes around the game executable, for example: "C[​IMG]Program FilesSports Interactive LtdFootball Manager 2005fm2005.exe" - add the above arguments outside and after the quotes.
    Lemme know if you've any questions, this is what worked for me.

    <div class="quote_poster">lilguy1991 Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Dan tried it and it's not working keeping having a box pop up saying that the name in the target box is not valid.</div>Your putting it into the wrong input, it's the top input not the bottom.

    Show a screenshot of the error if it continues.
