FM Genie Scout 2008

The long awaited successor of Genie Scout 2007, was here as a limited beta (build 83) since December 2007.

FM Genie Scout 2008
returned with a public beta (build 90) 4 months later. The first public beta fixed some data loading errors, the second public beta (build 92) fixed more than 20 more loading errors, and the third public beta (build 93) solved shortlist problem with non-visible regens, updated staff training rating system and corrected even more loading data errors. It is the last beta before pre-release version.

How to use
Unzip the FM Genie Scout 2008 folder, then run the FMGenieScout.exe file that you will find inside of it. No installation needed.

Compatibility
- This version should work with all FM2008 versions, including 8.0.0, 8.0.1 and 8.0.2 and their updates.

- Compatible with Windows Vista. However, Vista users should right click the downloaded
FMGenieScout.exe file and run as Administrator, as well as running FM2008 as Administrator (otherwise Genie Scout won't be able to access the protected memory area of FM2008
- that's the way that viruses/trojans traditionally install themselves into other programs on your computer).
In addition, Vista users should also turn off User Access Control (UAC - Google "Turn off UAC" if not sure) if they are still having problems.
