can't start a game in demo

Edit: I uninstalled, then reinstalled WITHOUT loading the PC patch and the game is working now.

Hi!

I'm new to OOTP but it looks great. But I can't play the demo.

I downloaded the OOTP13 demo for the PC and selected standard install - the games loads under the Windows "Program Files" directory. I started the game and was prompted to download and install a PC patch for OOTP13 that cleaned up some fonts. I did this.

When I start OOTP13, I get the game start screen. I can select the tab to order the game, install a key, or change my preferences. But none of the start game tabs can be selected. The start game tabs and online league tabs are greyed out, the cursor doesn't change to a pointing finger as you mouse over them, etc.

Windows XP and I my system exceeds the requirements.

Any help, please?
