Help! Error Problem and License Question

BigLou9781 · 06-21-2002, 03:11 PM

Just last week I purchased OOTP4. It has the little (c) next to it when I play it so I assume it's version C, the latest version.

I'm playing today and I decide to start a new league. I load a copy of GhostRolen.lg (I made a copy of the original one so I wouldnt have to keep on DL'ing it.) Anyway, I load it and I make a few trades here and there then I decided to trade Troy Percival my ClLand I get my 1st "OOTP.EXE" error, it says if it happens again, restart your CPU. So, I did and nomatter what I click on whether it be: team name, trade, free agents, anything I keep on getting this error. However, it's only with that league not my other league files.

Who do I fix this?

I figure it's not a RAM issuse since I haven't DL'ed anyhting else ont my CPU since I got this game last week.
I have 4.5 GB left on ym hard drive so I figure it's not a memory problem either.

If the answer to my question is just delete all of OOTP and re-download it. How do I go about doing that? Without using up a license?

Thanks,
Lou

What folders are inside of that "new" league folder you are getting the error with.

BigLou9781 · 06-22-2002, 10:12 AM

Folders are as follows:

"BOX"
"EXPIMP"
"LOGOS"
"MESSAGES"
"NEWS"

Now, I have been verwritting some of the ".dat" files witht he ones I got with my patches for MLB Parks, Face Packs, Logo's and all that good stuff, so I could have messed up the ".dat" files which is what I'm thinking I did.

When I Dl'ed Rolen's roster I made a copy of the folder so I wouldn't have to keep on Dl'ing it whenever my season was over. Could it be that GhostRolen.lg only works under it's original file?

If it is that ".dat" files I messed with then I guess the best thing woudl be to redownload it. Like I said this is my first problem in the game and it comes after trying to get the Face Pack and 2nd league folder to work.

Thanks

Lou

If I do re downlaod it, How do I unlicense so I don't waste one if it does come to me doing that?

Thanks

To Unliscence:

Just goto your control panels, click on Eliscence control, Find the OOTP folder, Right Click on the Icon and click Unliscence.
