That's my understanding anyway. Try it out.

Wow, Good job both of you!
Glad I could (try and) help as well. Have a good time with the game and see you around!

Be sure to move the kits, stadium pictures, logos etc. to a safe location if you try wiping out all the FM 17 related folders. That way it won't take too long to replace them later on when you've got the game working.
By the way, did you use a custom skin or the default one? A custom skin might mess the screen up, I suppose, although it's most likely it's because of the zoom level thing.
I'm going to have a look at the preferences file(s) and see if the settings can be easily found there and changed with Notepad. I suggest you don't delete the whole thing yet, in case there's a quick solution there to be found.
I'll be back. Soon.

I think I found it!
http://www.footballmanager.com/support/faqs/how-delete-my-preferences-folder-1
It says the following in there:
To delete your Preferences Files please do the following:
First of all make sure the game is closed before you proceed.
For Windows Vista and Windows 7:
- Click ‘Start’
- Select ‘Computer’
- From the header, select ‘Organize’ dropdown
- Select ‘Folder and Search Options’
- Within here, select the ‘View’ tab and make sure ‘Show Hidden Files and Folders’ is selected
- Navigate to C:\Users\[Your Windows Username]\AppData\Local\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2016
- Delete the Preferences folder
For Windows 8 and Windows 10:
- Click ‘File Explorer’ from within the taskbar (or click ‘Desktop/Start’ then type in ‘File Explorer&rsquo
- On the header click ‘View’ and make sure above ‘Show/hide’ that ‘Hidden Items’ is ticked
- Navigate to C:\Users\[Your Windows Username]\AppData\Local\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2016
- Delete the Preferences folder
Please bear in mind, these are not your save games or the same folder which contains these, this folder is completely unrelated. Upon deleting your preferences your in-game preference settings will be restored to default, so the folder will be regenerated when you launch the game. The next time you launch the game remember to change any preferences you wish to have changed (such as auto save regularity, sound level or game display mode).
And are similar instruction for Mac OS as well:

I know it says Football Manager 2016 but surely the FM 2017 settings can be found in a similar location. I'm positive this will do the trick, but please let me know how it worked.

I figured the reason re-installing the game doesn't change the zoom setting is because someplace else on your computer there's a folder with your FM 17 settings in it that remains regardless of uninstallation. You must find the location of your game settings and then edit the zoom setting (if it can be opened with Notepad or something like it and if it is in fact an easily readable setting file). You should also be able to delete it to force the game to re-create a new setting file. I don't know if it does that only during fresh installation & running the game for the first time - or if it simply recreates the settings file when you delete it and run the game again.
That should reset the settings and allow you to carry on in the game menus as you were.
If someone here knows the location where FM 17 creates the settings files, please let SRCA know!
I'll have a look myself too, maybe I can spot the folder.
Good luck!
#353355 Any way to mod/customise sounds?
Tommy Hughes
I've been editing the match sounds for FM 14, 15 and 16 - you know, adding team specific supporter chants, crowd reactions to refereeing decisions, poor misses or bad fouls and so on. I haven't got around to it yet, but I'll have a look at the event files and see if I can spot anything related to the pre-match bit you mentioned. Chances are, however, there won't be anything tying this brief intro bit to any actual match events, which usually can have sounds associated with them. But I have been wondering the same thing myself and will have a look. Would be really sweet if it could be done!
More specifically, in case your interested in little tinkering and adding your own sounds to make the game more authentic, the match engine sounds are tied to the event files: match_event & match_sounds in the \Football Manager 2017\data\events\ folder. You can open them with basic Notepad and and a connection between the two (i.e. set a specific match event to trigger specific sound(s)). Let me know too, if you beat me to it and find anything interesting.
