RchW & Steve:

O.K. My version of OOTP 11 is a boxed CD.

As long as the fact that it's a CD load makes no difference whether I re-install or have Gary remotely repair it, and especially if I can simply re-install over what is now in my computer without having to delete every component of OOTP 11 now inside the computer, I believe a re-install would be easier for me and my limited computer skills. This is exactly why I wanted a CD version of the game.

Although I desparately wanted the game back up and running, as I'm sure you understand, the only thing I had invested in it was an awful lot of time in constructing it as a Custom Advanced, because I spent many, many hours in the forum researching how things were put together and where things went.

Fortunately, at the time of this incident, I had just finished constructing the game and hadn't advanced far at all thru it (I was still doing house keeping stuff during pre-season and hadn't actually played even a Spring Training game). After the re-install, I'll simply start from scratch and create a new game. Having already done it, a newly created Custom Advanced shouldn't take me nearly as long.

I GREATLY appreciate all the unselfish, patient time RchW donated to my cause. This forum seems to be filled with people like RchW, but I also appreciate Steve's efforts. I know it must have been awkard for the 2 of you to simultaneously try to assist me and my plight, so that must have been why Steve dropped off yesterday.

RchW, I wish there was something I could do to repay you for your efforts. Let me know if you ever come to the "kidnapping capital of the world". It's a wonderful place, just make sure you bring a handgun.

I don't want to doubt your word after all this, but are you sure I can just re-load over what is now in the computer without any detrimental effects later on to the reloaded game(s). This is my only concern. Is Markus one of the Support guys?

And, where does one learn how to do "screen shots"?
