Entire error message:

"Could not find Historical Database! please check your database path in the league options!"

I get this error every time I try to start a new historical league. The league seems to start alright with OOTP correctly placing all players on the correct teams for the year entered (I have been trying to start a historical league beginning in 1981), but before the game even starts (regardless of whether or not I use minor league teams or if I start the game as commish or even as an MLB manager - yes, I have tested this several times) I get the error message.

Like I said, I can start the game even after the message. I've even gone into the League Setup screen and verified the correct path is in there (even have cut & pasted the path from windows). Th emessage pops up every rookie draft and at that point I can continue but no historical rookies are imported.

I have tried the latest Lahman's database and even one of the most recent Arod23 databases. I am at my wit's end - I have searched the forums here and have found no answers.

I am using ver. 1.0.3.12270

Can anyone out there help?

last thing: this is not the first version of OOTP that I have owned. As a matter of fact, I have just installed the game (and activated my License correctly) on my new laptop. On my old desktop I followed all of the same steps and had no problems creating a historical league (started my last one in 1981 and got through 1987 before moving to the new machine)...

Thanks in advance!
