I came here to answer computer questions. (This used to say "...and nothing more.")

What I meant was, I don't know how much help I would be with other things... NOT that I would be upset if you asked a non computer question!

Everytime I try to update my football manager 2010 game to version from the original to v10.3 this error pops up.

Error creating update file - C;\Program Files (x86)\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2010\tools\editor\data\format\database ui\citty ui.xml

Error 0x000004c8 - this requested operation cannot be performed on a file with a user-mapped section open.

Any body else have this problem, if so could you please help me _(link)

Hi there,

As it turns out there seem to be three common reasons people are getting this error message.

1) Anti-virus software interfering with the install. This goes double if you are running AVG anti-virus. Disable the resident shield protection and try again.

2) You are in Windows Vista, and you didn't run the patch as an administrator. Right click the patch, and run as administrator.

3) Use of the wrong version of the patch. There are different downloads for boxed versions and digitally purchased versions. Re-download the patch here:

... and make sure you have the right version.

If none of these work for you, there is a dedicated support forum for the game right here:

I hope your frustration ends soon.

That you for you feedback and I got it working in the end I just kept making the update run and after four or five times the progress just kept going up and up so by the last time I did it it worked fine. Thanks anyway
