Can't progress to next season -advice?

I've hit "search" and have seen related issues but the solutions haven't worked...

My system

Pentium 4 2.2 GHz
Microsoft XP Home Service Pack 2
512 MB RAM
100GB Hard Drive with 32 GB currently free

I have owned OOTP5 and played solo for a few years and it has run fine, with a few crashes here and there that I have solved. But I just recently tried to create a different type of league than I normally do:

2 subleagues, 6 teams in each
32 game season (a sort of World League to be played in the winter months)
**the schedule was created by Stickware - 1st time I've used it, and I run it starting January 5 for approx 5 weeks
3 game championship series
20 player per team draft to be held June 1st

The season ran fine. I finished it, but after the game got done generating the league reports and team reports, and got to the point of "proceeding to next year" the system crashed. The error message read ""Runtime Error. C:\Program Files\Outof the Park Developments\OOTP5\OOTP5.exe abnormal program termination.The application has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual way. Please contact the application support team for more information."

I have read suggestions from other folks, but they aren't working. I've tried:

defragging my computer
renaming the league
changing the number of players to be drafted
changing the date of the draft
reinstalling the game

The only thing I haven't tried is backing up & restoring the league - I'm afraid to screw that up - haven't understood that one.

The good news is that I can still look around inside this past season, and I haven't lost any stats. But I just can't proceed to next year. I don't want to dump the league as the teams are divided by nationality and it will take me a week to recreate everything. It takes a long time to find enough Australian players to create an Australian squad of 25 filled out at every position, believe me.

Advice please???? THANKS!
