* right click then on the FM link on your desktop
* then click properties
* in the target box write this "C:\Program Files\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2007\fm.exe" -fullscreen_width=1280 -fullscreen_height=800
* instead of 1280 and 800, you can use other numbers, as long as they correspond with the actual settings and exceed 1024*768 settings
* apply the new settings
* start the game
* go the game options
* click the option to play in the windowed mode

There are now two options for windowed mode, the second option is if some of the attributes get cut off the screen.

Fixing the 'grey' national teams, incorrect club names and Oliver Kahn.

*Go here: C:/Program Files/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2007/data/db/700/lnc/all

*And delete the following files:

- "fake.lnc"
- "france.lnc"

This will put the real German and Dutch players back in their respective national squads, it will also sort Olver Kahn's name out and add the nickname parts back to the names of the French clubs.

Become the club chairman

* You can edit this config file to give yourself the chance of becoming chairman of your favourite club. This should take the following format:

* CP_FIRST_NAME, CP_COMMON_NAME, CP_SECOND_NAME, CP_DATE_OF_BIRTH, CP_NATIONALITY, CP_FAVOURITE_TEAM, CP_NATION, CP_NUMBER, CP_STRING

* "BOARD_TAKEOVER" "Joe" "" "Bloggs" "01.01.1980" "England" "Ipswich" "England" "" "Media Corner Ltd"

* Don't worry about the CP_NUMBER field for now as this is not currently used.

* If you leave the favourite_team field blank, it will choose you a team in the specified FAVOURITE_NATION i.e. any club in England. If you specify a favourite team, it will not link you to any other teams.

* Simply copy and paste the line beginning "BOARD_TAKEOVER" "Joe"... below this sentence, remove the # sign from the start and fill in your own details. Then ensure that you have ticked the 'board_takeovers' box in Preferences within FM 2007.

* You must start a new game for these changes to take effect.

p.s.

This only allows you (or anyone, with the name of your choice) to come forward as part of a board takeover. Although it wouldn't actually mean you as a manager who could take over as chairman, but just in name only.

If you're thinking of doing it, it is also recommended that you fill in the company name.
