DuckSnort, what point are you at now? Have you cleaned up everything as well as you can?

According to Nutlaw, that place in your My Documents folder is the only place where there will be extra OOTP files.

Here's how I would uninstall the game: go to your "Start" menu, open the "Programs" (or "All Programs") list, pick "Out of the Park Developments," go to "OOTP Baseball 9" and choose "Uninstall OOTP 9".

Once that is finished, go to your Control Panel, and choose "Add or Remove Programs" and go to "Out of the Park Baseball 9" and note how big it is. How large is it? You said before that there was one 100MB in size. That sounds small to me. Are you sure it wasn't 1,000MB in size? Either way, note how big it is. Then, choose the "Remove" option. Th

Then, go to your "Program Files" on your hard drive, and look for the folder which holds you OOTP game. Delete it too.

Then go to your My Documents and find that "Out of the Park Developments" folder and delete it too.

Then empty all those deleted things out of your Recycle Bin, and restart your machine.

This next time that you try to install, don't enter your license number. Tell the game you're going to do it later, or test out the Demo Mode, or whatever you have to do, in order to circumvent entering your license. TSee if the game will run in this "Demo" mode; it's identical to the regular game mode, except that you can't play a whole season. If the game will open, mess with it a little bit and see if it functions normally.

It seems like you have the latest version's setup file, if you've got the zip file that's called Setup9.2.2 (or whatever it's labeled exactly) and it's 240MB. Once you've got all the old OOTP stuff cleared off, run that install file and re-install the game. But don't try to run it yet, look at my "Side question" first.)

(Side question: what screen resolution are you running on your monitor? You can find this info by going to your "Control Panel" and choosing "Display" and then going to "Settings" and the "Screen Resolution" is on the lower left. What are those dimensions? There's an outside chance that you're running at a resolution that's below the game's required minimum. If the numbers listed as your screen resolution are smaller than 1024×768 then raise it to that setting.)

Once you've done these things, see if the game will open (and don't enter your license yet, like I said above.)

I'm also determined to get this to work!
