Runtime Error Help please

Chisanga · 04-05-2004, 06:13 AM

I haven't played OOTP for a while but today I accidently deleted the league I was playing through WIndows Explorer. Now when I load up OOTP and try to access another saved league or start a new one I get a pop-up message with the heading "Microsoft Visual C ++ Library" the error bog says "Runtime error!!
Program C:/Program Files/400 Software Studios/OOTP5/OOTP5.exe
abnormal program termination.

When I click the ok box OOTP closes.

Does anyone have any idea what I can do about this.

Thanks

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.

The data.dat thing didn't seem to work.

Forgive my ignorance but if I reinstall the game will I have to get another licence for it?

Thanks

No, that also should correct the problem.
