The evaluation edition of the Fantasy Cricket Manager is fully functional for the first 28 days after installation but after that is limited to a maximum of 5 teams in a fantasy cricket league - the full program is not limited in this way and can be used to manage fantasy cricket leagues containing up to 1000 teams.

V3.00.22 the Fantasy Cricket Manager has been designed to work in conjunction with V5.00.00 (or later) of Cricket Statistics for Windows and requires Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000 or XP, an SVGA (800 x 600 pixel) or better display and at least 5 MB of free space on the hard disk.

Download the fcm3022.exe file by clicking on the link above then shut down all other applications (including the small menu programs supplied with Microsoft Office, Lotus Smartsuite etc.) and run the downloaded fcm3022.exe file from the Run option in the Windows Start menu.

After the installation is complete, you will see a new Fantasy Cricket Manager V3.00.22 program group in the Windows Start menu and can start the program by double clicking on the Fantasy Cricket Manager entry in this group.

Vista Users

If you find that Vista complains when you run Fantasy Cricket Manager, locate the fanman.exe file in Windows Explorer (it will probably be in the c:\fanman folder), right-click on the file, select Properties from the resulting pop-up menu and, on the Compatibility tab of the resulting dialogue, tick the "Run as administrator" check-box and click the OK button.

If you are using the Fantasy Cricket Manager for the first time, I suggest you have a look at the Getting Started guide in the on-line help (select Contents from the Help menu then, in the resulting help window, select How to use Fantasy Cricket Manager).

It's also worth checking out the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section of the on-line help (select Frequently Asked Questions from the Help menu) as this contains a number of useful tips which could save you a lot of time and effort.

Comprehensive on-line help is available at all times in the Fantasy Cricket Manager - just press the F1 key if you get stuck.
