In case you can't remember what path you've entered there and the game doesn't even let you get that far to check, open a command prompt (Start Menu -> Run) and enter
%appdata%\Sports Interactive\OOTP Baseball 2007\data\config
which should pop open a folder that includes a file named "paths". Open that in any text editor and it should show something like
path_user_data
F:\OOTP Baseball 2007\data

Hi Zeyes!
I did all that, saw what you were talking about, and tried copying two different targets that have the .dat files into "paths", but I'm still getting that message. I haven't been able to open up the game even once after each of my installs so I can't even access the OOTP Preference screen. I get that message after clicking on the icon on my desktop.
In that "paths" file, am I supposed to copy and paste the info in the address bar where all that info is located and put it on that second line? I still don't think I'm 100% sure what goes on that second line.
Another problem I think is the .dat files keep going into my network drive (using a work computer) and I can't seem to get it to not go in there. There is a "data" folder in there, and inside that, there is a sub-folder called "quick_start", which has three different sub-folders inside of that "Fictional Five Minor.quick", "Fictional Single.quick" and "StandardMAL.quick". All three of those have many different .dat files (coaches, ethnicities, names, parks, teams, etc.). Are those the ones I'm going after?
When I right-click the icon on my desktop into the Properties, the target field says: "C:\Program Files\Sports Interactive\OOTP Baseball 2007\ootp2007.exe" The Start-In field is blank..should something go there?
I hope I am not confusing you too much because I'm pretty computer-stupid as it is. I'm pretty shocked I'm having this problem to begin with because the first computer (albeit my home one) went very smoothly.
