I still seem to be stuck. I managed to duplicate the world.dat file from my franchise on ootp 20 and transfer that over to where OOTP 21 could find it. I tried to import into OOTP 21 and it got an error message after about 2 minutes of files copying. It said it could not load the names file and asked if I wanted OOTP to try and fix it by creating an "incident folder" and then trying to fix it when the game loaded up. Then the application crashses and drops be back to the desktop (happened 2 times).

Not sure where to go from here.

Also, since there was an incomplete .lg folder created (as well as other data from perfect team) from the aborted import, I seem to have lost the ability to find the OOTP 21 folders. I used to be able to hit the "Open" button on the import window and it would open up the folders on the desktop that housed OOTP 21 files. But that only worked when the OOTP 21 import window could not "see" any files Now that there are visible files in that folder, when I hit the OPEN button nothing happens.

One last thing....is it normal to be asked for the activation key EVERY time you load OOTP 21 after shutting down/restarting your computer?
