OOTP6 takes a lot of RAM so while playing or simming a set of games, hit CTRL + ALT + DEL and check to see how much commit charge is in use. You may be overloading your older machine and may have to streamline your system to handle OOTP6.

Download Spybot and use it to clean up spyware that may be using resources. Then go to www.blackviper.com and spend some time disabling unnecessary services.

Then go to START, RUN, and type "msconfig". Then click the STARTUP tab. take the check off of software you don't want running at startup automatically. Ideally, you want a minimum here as it causes your system to boot slow. Only Windows dependent processes should be allowed to start on startup.

Also, disable ALL antivirus software while gaming.

The nice thing about OOTP6 is it often saves your league as it crashes, so I've heard. I haven't had any crashes and that's probably due to my running it on a massive machine that's kept in optimum running condition.

Hope this helps.
