nutlaw-
i tried things twice. the first time, after it failed to work properly, i then tried to clear out EVERYTHING and give it a fresh go.
1. under 'documents', i moved the contents of the entire 'data' file to a safe place. this inclues several recent backups created when running reports.
2. i then deleted the entire folder.
3. under [my name], 'AppData' and 'roaming', i deleted all contents and folders.
4. on my "D" drive, i moved two files: 'receipt', and one called 'RIBC.lg.tar.gz' to a backup location.
5. then i deleted all contents and folders.
6. so, in theory, i would now have a completely new install to work with.
7. i installed OOTP 2007. then i deleted the contents of the 'data' file under 'documents' and moved my league files into there from my backup.
8. then i ran the 203 final patch.
9. i then moved the 'receipt' file back to its orignial location of my "D" drive, thinking that this might be how it recognizes the liscense.
10. i started up OOTP 2007 and got confirmation that it correctly patched 920 files.
11. i shut it done and then restarted.
12. the RIBC league was ont available to 'continue', so i clicked on it under 'load'.
13. so far, so good (at least in my mind and self-derived theory).
14. it started loading up...spent some time on 87% ("loading messages"), then went to 100%...where it waited for 5-10 seconds before failing, as it had previously done.
15. i attempted to reload after moving in a recent backup into the 'saved_games' 'RIBC.lg' location to identical failure.
so, i am back to where i started.
