Thanks guys.

I downloaded the playbooks and am going to give them a try.

<t> I created a PAC-10 League and threw in Michigan for a 10 game season.<br/>
<br/>
I let the computer do the draft and training of all teams.<br/>
<br/>
I let the computer simulate all games except for Washington and its oppenents.<br/>
<br/>
Here's the problem:<br/>
<br/>
I play as coach ...

I had the same problem.

I told ZoneAlarm to always allow KP access to the trusted zone and always block access to the internet zone.

Now the game starts and runs fine.
