Hi Jim,
Let's try some basic troubleshooting. If the problem still persists
please post back and we'll try some more steps. Good luck! :-)
1. To see if it's a software conflict: Temporarily disable Startup
programs one at a time, starting with Firewall, Antivirus, and ad
blockers using this utility: http://www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml
or this method: http://www.pacs-portal.co.uk/startup_content.php
You can lookup what a program does before you disable it here:
http://www.sysinfo.org/startuplist.php
2. Run a virus scan at: http://housecall.antivirus.com and then
install MS AntiSpyware from: www.microsoft.com/spyware to
remove any Spyware or Adware which could clog up your PC.
3. Click My Computer / Rightclick the Drive & Choose Properties
/ Run the "Disk Cleanup..." / Next Click the "Tools" Tab and run
the "Error-Checking" and "Defragmentation" utilities.
4. Go to the Windows Update site for everything under Critical and
Recommended: http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com Some games
require a patch: http://www.avault.com/pcrl/patches_list.asp?letter=a
5. Update DirectX and your Chipset, Sound, &Video Drivers:

| hi, i posted a couple of weeks ago about the problems i've had with pro evo 5
| (see below) and to no avail. i've noticed that on the cover it says only dvd
| compatible and i don't know whether this is an issue as my pc can play dvd's.
| i'm somewhat anxious to sort this problem out as my eight year old is very
| disappointed at not being able to play what was the present he wanted more
| than any other for christmas. does anyone out there have any ideas? thanks,
| Jim.

| i've just installed pro evolution soccer 5 for my son's christmas present
|| and
|| no problems with the actual installation. my graphics card (gforce
|| fx5600)
|| is compatible; we've installed directx9 and have got the latest driver for
|| the card direct from nvidias site. yet when i click on the icon on the
|| desktop i get a small hourglass symbol for about a second and then
|| nothing.
|| if i go to my computer and click on the pro evo icon and select autorun i
|| get
|| the pro evo list of options and select play and then get the same hour
|| glass
|| symbol and nothing again.
|| i got my other son star wars battlefront 11 for the pc at the same time
|| and
|| this runs with no problems at all. any ideas? thanks, Jim

| Hmmm have you tried closing down any other applications in the background?
|
| You can do this by pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL then clicking on the Processes tab
| and ending any program that's running as the current user NOT ones that are
| listed System, or any Services.
|
| Make sure to save any unsaved data that may be running in those applications
| first however.
|
| If that is successful try closing down groups of them to see if you can
| locate the offending application.
