i am running the OOTP 2007, fully-patched version, on vista. i am the commish.

whilst sending some transactions via FTP export, my computer locked up. i crossed my fingers on a restart, but OOTP gets hung up at 100% for a few seconds in trying to load my league before shutting down.

i loaded the previous days 16 saved files, but had the same problem. i then did so for the previous days, too.

so clearly the issue or ding is not within the league files (coaches.dat, players.dat, etc.).

now is where i start to sweat. i've got my whole league depending on me to gets things up and running again, and with hopes of no lost data.

what are my options here? i assume that i should try a reinstall of the program next. i would hate to do this, as it makes me nervous to even think about it.

i have backed up league files daily, as well as an occasional full backup of everything in the 'documents' are. i backed up the actual program files once. why? i don't know.

if i do have to do a reinstall, am i safe? i will obvious move all of the 16 league files to a safe backup. is it a pain trying to get the liscensing into the game once again, considering it is now an old version?

any words of wisdom would be much appreciated, even if (hopefully) they are, "don't worry. as long as you have a recent backup of your 16 league files, you are certain to be able to recover your league".

thank you in advance.
