I am having similar problems, but I just get a message stating OOTP4.exe error, since I have Visual C++ installed, I get a debug option, and not the source line.
Playing with 4.0a. Windows ME. 128MB Ram. PIII 850. 31GB HD Space still Available. DirectX 8.
After simming my first season (with creating a new league from Rolen rosters), I can go through the coaching period, and then advance to the free agency period. After I click "finish day" of day 1/30 of free agency, I get the error message and the game must be closed. After reloading, I am still in the end of the coaching signing period, but it says day 6/5, I can then click finish day, but then I get day 7/5, this can go on and on, and I have gone up to day 70/5.
Game does not allow me to advance to the next period from this point , so I can not get back to free agency period.
Had experience this problem before, so I uninstalled v4, and redownloaded it. Problem continues.
Also occasionally have problems when visiting transactions page in this league (before season 1 is over, and before get the aformentioned crash).

Ok, now experiencing more problems.
I uninstalled the game completely, redownloaded and reinstalled. Create a new league (in challenge mode), selected my team, click on a few players in roster screen just to see if the game error occurs. Go to transactions, get the error message again, and have to close the program. I have done this repeatedly and continue getting the error again and again at this same point.
I go in, turn off my anti-virus software (Mcafee), go back in the game, and continue to see the same problem. Go to graphics setup, toggle full screen mode on, go back into the game, load league, click on any page, and game crashes automatically back to desktop (not even an ootp4.exe error). Disabled full screen mode, keep trying to load the created league, but continue to get the .exe message, forcing me to close program.
Want to play game, me pay money. Please help.
