bought football manager 2012 today, you have to install it through steam and having tried that it says steam is installed, but then i still cant get any further because it says error 5 access denied. has anyone got this game and had similar problems, or know how to fix this so i can install the game?

where are you installing it?

That error is usually due to lack of permissions allowing you to run steam itself....

[tunnie]

also make sure steam.exe is not set to read only...

installing onto a windows 7 pc so have the correct requirements to run the game, but i cant even get to the game because of this steam problem
where would i see the read only thingy you mention?

[tunnie]

right click on exe shortcut > properties

on compatibility tab, tick box run as administrator

Always used to be a big PC gamer, but got hacked off with introduction of steam to play games, constant fiddling with settings. You pop a game in, it works, waiting for Battlefield 3 

Its still sounds like a permissions issue:

I personally would love to put an RPG right up the bum of Steam, it's a ridiculous system, poorly designed and implemented even worse.  I steer clear of it if I can.
