I can't start up OOTP3

Passner · 12-09-2001, 04:46 PM

Whenever I click on the OOTP3 icon I get this error.

OOTP3 caused an invalid page fault in

Help me out, becuase I am unable to use OOTP3, and I do not want to lose my league files. Thanks for the help.

You need to give us a few more details, the more info we have the better.

Passner · 12-09-2001, 05:05 PM

like what, that is all I know. When I try to start up OOTP3, I get that error.

Steve Kuffrey · 12-09-2001, 05:25 PM

Well, like you PC system info, at exactly what point of the season you are playing does this happen? Have you gotten the game to work before?

Passner · 12-10-2001, 12:03 PM

It was working before, but it was crashing the second season after game 162. Then, my computer got screwed up, and after it was fixed I tried to start up OOTP3, but now I am unable to. The program won't even start, I just get that error message I copied and pasted above. Thanks for your help.

Steve Kuffrey · 12-10-2001, 12:13 PM

Sounds like your league files are shot already, what you need to do is just run the "OOTP3setup.exe" program again and install the game in a different location. It should work fine, but you'll have to start over.

Passner · 12-10-2001, 01:16 PM

I just tried running setup again, and installing into a differant directory, and when I started up OOTP3, it gave me the same error message.

Steve Kuffrey · 12-10-2001, 01:19 PM

Strange, try downloading the setup file again(it's free to d/l it). See if that works. Have you had any other problems with your PC or made any major changes?

Draft Dodger · 12-10-2001, 03:41 PM

just to make sure,

before you reinstalled, did you uninstall the old version? if not, you should.

you may want to try to back up your league data first, but it may be gone.

Passner · 12-11-2001, 04:53 AM

I uninstalled the game and then reinstalled it, but I still got the same error message, and I was unable to start the game.

Steve Kuffrey · 12-11-2001, 07:24 AM

Doesn't sound like a game problem, sounds like a PC problem. Have you installed new hardware, drivers, etc recently?

Passner · 12-11-2001, 01:14 PM

No, I haven't installed anything new in a while.

Steve Kuffrey · 12-11-2001, 02:15 PM

Have you tried d/l the game again?

Passner · 12-12-2001, 01:31 PM

I downloaded the file again, uninstalled the original game, and then reinstalled. I still get the same error. I will try a few things of my own, and get back to you if I have a problem. Do you have any helpful suggestion, or do you recognize the error message I posted above?

Steve Kuffrey · 12-12-2001, 04:31 PM

How much RAM do you have? How much free space is left on your HD? These things can cause errors.

Passner · 12-12-2001, 05:25 PM

I have plenty of RAM and Hard Drive space.

Steve Kuffrey · 12-12-2001, 05:30 PM

What about updated video drivers and the latest direct x7?

Passner · 12-13-2001, 05:30 AM

I am downloading DirectX 8.1 now, so I will see if that works.

Passner · 12-13-2001, 05:42 AM

I think it is working now. Thank you very much for all of your help. I really appreciate it, and I can finally play this great game again.

Steve Kuffrey · 12-13-2001, 09:09 AM

Glad I could help.
