Having some trouble need some help.

When I try to get a new file onto the game or try to do anything I get a screen that comes up that says this. RUNTIME ERROR. Then there are some words underneath that I can't read. Then finally it says it will shut off immeaditly so if someone could please help that would be great.

Sounds like you are not installing the "new files" correctly. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&i...unzip+files%22

How to unzip files

Nope that didn't work I still get the same screen.

What EXACTLY are you trying to do? What EXACTLY have you done? Deleted ANY files?

grindz601 · 01-26-2004, 02:47 PM

Yeah I got rid of all the old files that I didn't use anymore. The all I'm trying to do is open up on the game a file with the rosters and everything to start a league with.

Try this:
In windows go to:
(OOTP5>data>setup)(the "setup.dat" file is what I am referring to, make a backup copy of this file before beginning this process).
The first "text" in the file is the name of the last open league, change them to whatever your league is, save it and thn try to open the game.

If that doesn't solve the problem you can simply reinstall the game and move your current league to that folder and that will work.
