Regarding the sked: it is my basic understanding that unless you make a schedule yourself, you play the same one over and over again.

Making the schedule is not difficult, just tedious. I am pressed for time now but can provide instructions later, if you are interested.

<t> For what it is worth, this is my two cents (or is that 1.5 cents in today's economy?):<br/>
<br/>
For me, the money is not the issue. As much love as there is for the game by both creator and users, this is still a business and I can respect that. I will just use the criteria I use for other ...

I would. I find myself wanting constantly to look back and see how I did against my play off opponent.

Count me #4

You know, I have Altecs also. I may have to give that a go. Never really played with the sound files, I have been pre-occupied modifying schedules.

Ok, would you believe I am too cheap? Or maybe I just didn't think of it.....[:D]

Well, since I tend to play while wife watches TV, it has the side benefit of keeping a roof over my head. If you get my meaning....

I just play with the volume off. Yes, it is like killing roaches with a flamethrower but it has the merit of only one button to push....

<t> I have modified the existing psc file and it imported without a hitch. I love the fact a amateur like me can tweak the game to what I need.<br/>
<br/>
I do have one last unresolved question: it is about the game id: is it a counter? If so, does it only count the regular season?<br/>
<br ...

<t> OK, I have some questions about the schedule formatting. I am sorry, but I can't let it go.<br/>
<br/>
I exported the current schedule and took a look at it. <br/>
<br/>
Is the "game id" a counter of the games played? In 29756,11,12,3,25, is the 29756 the 29,756th game played in my ...

The only way I have found to do it is to change the player card.&nbsp; I have done it a couple of times.&nbsp; There is still a learning curve but at least the change sticks.

Quick question: are OOTP format schedules (I use txt formats) no longer accepted? I completed spring training and went to add the 2010 schedule (for use as my 2020 campaign). When I tried to import schedule, the only file option is psc files.

Microsoft's less than stellar track record perhaps?

I use them only because it is the only tool that shows the grind of the season and the growth of the rookies.

<t> I tried downloading the update you suggested and it did nto work. I do not have VB6 so it did not update. <br/>
<br/>
What I ended up doing was uninstalling, turning off UAC and then a fresh install. That did the trick, the game loaded without incident.<br/>
<br/>
Shaun, thanks for the ...

<t> I have created a whole bunch of schedules in OOTP text format. I actually have them up to 2009. They are on Crash Davis' site. <br/>
<br/>
I save them in the retrosheet folder. To use them, after spring training but before you start the regular season, go to options. Select import schedule ...

Reminds me of Rob Deer who used to get more HRs than singles. He didn't hit 'em often, but he hit 'em far. <br/>

That is funny you mention that: he had only 87 hits (all HR's). It gets better: they were all ...

<t> I was able to get the command prompt open (but not sure who to set it to run as admin) and followed your instructions. After step 4, I received the following error: The module "comdlg32.ocx" was loaded but the call to Dllregisterserver failed with error code 0x800040005.<br/>

Stupid ...

I tried as you suggested and still get the same run time error. Is there a plan B or am I not destined to play in Vista?

Thanks
