That would be my next guess too - some key league files that are still read-only (or even some missing league files or folders). I'd 1st check the files in the league that opens up when you start the program, sounds like the game is pooping out when trying to save that before going on to the next task. Read-only league files (*.DAT as well as any text files the game writes to) would definately result in that runtime error. BTW, this may have happened if you changed the read-only properties by R-clicking on the entire OOTP4 folder, often subdirectories & files are still read-only when you do that.

The other longshot idea: Missing files or folders in the league that opens up when you start the program. If an incomplete back up was made and files are missing that could cause that runtime error too. If you reinstalled the full game from scratch and chose yes to overwriting (if prompted) then this should not happen as the default league is complete & we've had no reported issues there. If the install was incomplete though and uses some previously installed files in the same game directory that were not overwritten then that could result in the error you see. Installing from scratch in a brand new directory should work if you have tried all other avenues.
