2. We may need to have you upload the league you're trying to load to see whether it is a league problem and not a 'game' problem.

Edit: NOW I see you created a new fictional league, so I'm even more stumped. Review the total uninstallation, because obviously there can't (shouldn't) be anything wrong with your original downloaded game. Did you add a patch later, or was the game you downloaded patch-inclusive? I assume the former. Darn it, this is very peculiar.
The original installation was release version, patched up one patch at a time. It was running fine until I lost power during the draft.

Okay, I went back and uninstalled again (man, uninstalling takes longer than installing does with OOTP) and made sure the Program Files/ and Documents/ were both cleared. Restarted the computer to clear things out. Made sure the %appdata% was clear, restarted the computer. Re-installed the game to all of the default directories, created a new fictional league, still crashed on Continue Draft. Uninstalled everything again, ran the appdata, restarted, re-installed in a custom directory (simply C:Program Files/OOTP 2007) and started the game up. Created a new fictional league, went to the draft, everything seems to work fine.

I don't know why it wasn't working in the default directory, unless something was hiding somewhere on my computer that appdata wasn't finding.

I appreciate the help.
