Earlier versions of OOTP: Technical Support Do you have a copy of OOTP Baseball 2006? Are you in need of help and assistance in running the game or do you have errors that you need help in resolving? This is your place! |

Got it to work..
Here is how: Windows 7 Professional Right click on icon on the "shortcut" page - click Run - Maximized Compatibility Page: Run in Windows XP SP3 Disable Visual Themes Disable Desktop Composition Disable display scalling on high DPI settings Run the program as administrator |

Right clicking on the program in the start menu and selecting run program as administrator works for OOTP6 in Windows 7.

Anyone find out how to get the UAC to stop warning me about it without turning off the UAC? Its annoying but functional this way. If OOTP6.5 were digitally signed, I think the issue would go away.

I have successfully downloaded and installed OOTP 6, but I can only download OOTP 6.5. When I click install, it only installs about 1/10th and the install box disappears. Sometimes another box pops up saying the program may have not installed properly. I try to reinstall with the same result.
Any suggestions? |

Sorry man. I had the same issues and followed the above advice to the letter and when i launched 6.5 I always got the black screen. I eventually gave up and now have 6.5 on my XP desktop and 11 on my windows 7 laptop.
Good luck with it. |

That sux! I don't understand why 6.0 installs just fine, but 6.51a will not install. I can't get a response from either Steve or Markus either.
My old laptop is on it's last legs... |

Not sure man, maybe it's a hardware issue? OOTP6 installs and launches just fine, but after installing 6.5(exactly as described above) when I launch all I get is the black screen. Graphics card maybe. I've got a Toshiba A500 with a GT230M, and while it's not exactly ultra performance, it's OK. Yeah, 6 runs, but 6.5 won't. Strange.

Did you restart your computer after installing 6 and 6.5?

Windows 7 says OOTP 6.5 is incompatible. It's that simple. I just wonder why...???

What do you mean by "old laptop"? How well does it run Windows 7?

I mentioned the old laptop in the context of my ability to continue to run my online league. Currently, the online league goes the minute the old laptop finally crashes. It might hang in there for a while, yet it might not. My old laptop is an IBM Thinkpad R40. |

I have hope! Markus came back from vacation and has referred me to the support folks here at this awesome site. So far the tech can't get OOTP 6.0 to install on his Win 7 computer! but he is working on it... I see light at the end of the tunnel.

Well I finally got mine to run. Entirely my fault I didnt change the location of where to unzip the 6.5 file, and it created it's own directory. I then changed it to the OOTP6 directory and voila, what do you know....it works. How freakin embarassing.

Apparently, there has not been a resolution to this. I have OOTP 6/6.5 installed on a Win 8 machine, but it is being repaired at this time. So, I installed 6 on a Win 7 Pro machine, with licensing. When I try to install 6.5, it starts, goes about 1/4 or the way and just stops, no error message. I specified to run in Win XP Compatibility Mode, and as administrator, but it makes no difference. I have followed all the suggestions, but it still doesn't install.
Any other ideas? Many thanks. |
