Recently purchased OOTP4 for my Athlon500Mhz, 8G HDD (1.5G left), 128 Mb RAM PC. Everything works fine, I load up a current season I downloaded (don't remember where from, but bear with me a sec.) and it works fine. I play as the Cubs in career mode, make some trades, play about three weeks of the season (this is over the course of several days in real time). Then, while simulating a day, my system freezes up. I manually restart, and let scandisk do a scan at startup. Now, however, OOTP4 immediately crashes back to the desktop after launching (I see the main screen with the "loading season" dialog with a full load bar before it sends me back to the desktop). So, I disable fullscreen and Direct3D, and I get an "illegal operation..." message (details show that it was caused by an invalid page fault at...). I'm pretty bewildered. I have Dx 8.0, should I try 8.1, or is it something else? Hmm, while writing this I just tried switching out the league file for the original one that came with OOTP4. Now I can get in and every thing works. Should I just chalk that up to experience and get a new file? Also, do you have any advice for me regarding which files are the best (safest) to use with OOTP4 (I refer to 2002 season files).

Thanks alot, you guys make a great game!
