Couple problems...

First, everytime I try to start a standard league, I get a pop up that says...

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Runtime Error!

Program: C:\Program Files\400 Software Studios\OOTP5\OOTP5.exe

abnormal program termination

Help?

Also, I have no clue how to import rosters, logos, and other stuff I've d/l'd for the game. I read the FAQs and followed them, didn't work(yes, I did get past the Runtime Error a few times when I first set it up).

I just got the game and wanna play it, so can anyone help plz?

Sounds like you have deleted some files and or leagues. You may want to uninstall and reinstall the game if that is the case. As far as the FAQ's for help, they are the best source for getting those issues to work. In most cases you MUST be familiar with your "unzipping" software, if not use the help file or consult a local computer technican to assist you. It isn't a hard thing to learn, but it is also not as easy thing to help someone online with.

In most of the cases to get extras into the game it is also best to have the game closed.

Hope this helps.

lol, I know how to unzip.

I'm guessing I'm not unzipping them to the right folders.

Thanks for the help, I'll try uninstalling and reinstalling it right now, should I Uninstall the license before doing it? Or should the same number still work?

The "right folders" is usually the tough issue for folks, plus knowing how to use the "use original path or folders" option is another. Good luck.

lol, I think I figured out what I was doing wrong.

Instead of unzipping files to my league's folder, I unzipped them into the Data folder. I was screwing around with a few files in there.

I just uninstalled and reinstalled, the game works again. And I unzipped rosters to my league's folder and it worked, so I guess that explains it.

Thanks for the help...

EDIT: well, after looking at it, i guess it wasn't d/lin' files to the data folder, it was actually deleting files from it.

I'm learnin.
