Major problem... I cant get ootp9 to load.

Okay...here's the deal. Its been awhile since I fired up ootp9, so I figure I'd perhaps start up a league and have some fun in celebration of the new season.

I click on my desktop shortcut and it says "OOTP Baseball 9 Has Stopped Working" A problem has caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.

(I'll go ahead and let you know now that Im running Vista Home Premium 64-bit edition Service Pack 1, Intel Core2 Quad CPU Q 6600 @ 240GHz, 4.00 GB Ram, and Dual NVidia GeForce 8800 GTX cards if that helps any...)

So, after trying to figure out what the problem is and coming up snake eyes, I decide to try installing the latest patch 9.2.13 and seeing if that solves it. Nope...same message. So, I do an uninstall, DL the full version of the patch and try a full reinstall. About 3/4ths the way thru the installation I get this error message: C:\User\my name\Documents\Out of the Park Developments\OOTP Baseball 0\stats\historical_database.odb A decompression error has occurred (#7) File CRC Mismatch - Data Integrity Error Abort Retry or Ignore?

Abort kills the install, Retry keeps getting the same error looping, and Ignore finishes the install. However, when I go to fire it up (running as administrator) i get the same first original error message: "OOTP Baseball 9 Has Stopped Working" A problem has caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.

What the heck do I do now?
