trying to install puresim on a computer with windows xp, service pack 2.
when i try to load, it says some components not installed propery, error: assertion failed on line 9
rebooted and reinstalled multiple times, same error
any thoughts?

Using windows me, all updates current, turned off all antivirus and extraneous programs
nothing loads up when i click on puresim.  Not even with debug, but it appears in my window list (ctrl, alt, delete).
 

Reserve clause contract? Is this a new contract option??

Bottom of ninth, tie game, runners on the corners, 1 out. Runner on third steals home. Score now 3-2, game should be over, but next batter comes up. Hits into double play, game ends.
