My problem has still not been resolved. My computer has been down recently do to an upgrade that may help to resolve my problem. I believe that I know the cause of the problem but I'm not sure if I can fix it. Here's what I think happened...

OOTP-07 (via Sports Interactive) used a different data storage configuration than the other OOTP games before & since. Sports Interactive stored their data files in the "My Documents" folder on the C-Drive. These files became extremely large on my system.

[My configuration] My C-Drive was rather small, but I had a much larger Game drive (E-Drive) where I loaded all my games.

When OOTP-9 came out, I relocated the Sports Interactive files over to my E-Drive. I believe that this was the original cause of my problems last year with OOTP-9 (I don't think that it could find the data).

I gave up a year of playing OOTP in the hopes that I could import my OOTP-07 data directly into OOTP-10. Unfortunately OOTP-10 would only allow an import from OOTP-9, so my original data was left out into the cold.

[Now] During my recent upgrade I replaced my hard drives and now have plenty of room. Unless you guys (Battists & Nutlaw) have a better idea, here is the long & painful process that I plan to try to accomplish the fix...

1. Relocate my Sports Interactive files back to the C-Drive.
2. Reinstall OOTP-07 (yes, I still have the file)
3. Reinstall OOTP-9 (yes, I still have the file)
4. Re-download OOTP-10 (But I no longer have the order ID)
5. Import OOTP-07 data into OOTP-9
6. Import OOTP-9 data into OOTP-10

I don't know if this laborious process will work, and I still have to re-acquire my Order IDs from OOTP, but it's the only thing that I can think of that might allow me to rescue my OOTP career unless you guys can come up with a more reasonable solution (like somehow importing my OOTP-07 data directly into OOTP-10).
