For some reason, my eMac (which runs Panther) seems to be optimized for OotPB. Except for one never repeated CTD during an inaugural draft under the last build of 2006, this game has never given me problems.

I downloaded the patch (not a full game) through this site (not through the mirror, which I'd had problems using to download the revised manual). The installer ran automatically up to the point where I had to point it at a folder. I wasn't given the option of installing into the folder where I keep 2007, so I aimed it at the choice that was closest to it (two heirarchies farther up the tree), and it created a new game there. I tossed the old game into the trash, moved the new game to the old game's folder, opened it up, and it worked beautifully, complete with my test league.

Now, mind you, I'm spending so much time on these boards and travelling that I've played very little. I'm not even up to Spring Training yet, and likely won't be for awhile, so I don't know whether I have the blank scoreboard problem or not. That's why I asked in a different thread about whether I should go through the 'delete skin.bin' procedure without knowing whether or not I actually need to. (I haven't gotten an answer to that question, by the way.)
