Generally, your saved_games folder will be somewhere like C:\Users\[your_name]\Documents\Out of the Park Developments\OOTP Baseball 10, but it might depend on your exact version of Windows and you could even move it elsewhere.
For reference, you're not the only who has had this problem:

I'll link your thread to that first one too.
Some people suggested some things in that first thread that you might also like to try.
If you still can't get it to work then if I were you I'd unlicense, uninstall, download a fresh install and reinstall. I don't know if that would work, but if other things don't work then it might be worth a try. Others reportedly tried unsuccessfully, but maybe they didn't re-download the setup file.
EDIT: You could also do yourself and others a favour by ftping your dat files as that first link says.

Please do your best to provide the following information:
1. What, specifically, were you doing when the problem occurred? Include the specific screen you were on when the problem occurred.
When I am on the main home page that comes up when you very first load your saved game, if I click on one of my mail messages in the window at the bottom or click on the icon to take me to my messages inbox the game will crash every time.
2. What happened? Was there an error message? If so, what was the specific message?
There isn't really an error that comes up. Windows 7 just pops up a box asking if I want to close the program or search the internet for a solution and close the program. The game itself gives no error message. Just dies.
3. Were you able to repeat the error with this same game? With another game? If so, what steps did you take?
It happens every time, and I created a second league just to see if it would do the same thing with a different league, and it still happens. So its apparently not just a problem with my league.
4. If relevant, what do you think the program should have done?
That is probably pretty obvious
5. What is your league configuration (fictional/historical, etc.)
Fictional
6. Are you a PC, Mac, or Linux user?
PC

No possible solution jumps out at me, but something might for someone else.

I'm pretty sure uninstalling won't overwrite your files, but just to be on the safe side you should find your saved_games/*.lg folder, zip it up and put it somewhere safe first. I recommend my steps above of the unlicensing and redownloading of the setup file though.
