After trying just about everything I could, including deleting everything by the offending "start_screen" folder, I tried the Easy Cleaner program Steve suggested, but even that refused to delete this one folder, suggesting the the file may be "in use." So, that got me thinking...there are two user profiles on this computer. So, i logged out and logged in as the other, and lo and behold, there was OOTP in the "Add/Remove Programs" menu. I uninstalled, went back to install the new version I donloaded, and viola! It loaded up easily.

So, I staarted up the game, the version info is correct. Selected the "Scores and Scedules" page from the menu (the root of my original problem in this save game), and there it was: The option to play my game.

All fixed.

Thank you all for helping.
