I will post my results of my work around/work through of this problem.

I copied my saved game over to another part of the hard drive.

I did a fresh install of the game. I unlicensed and uninstalled the game. I re-installed the game and re-licensed it.

I pasted the saved game back into the saved games folder. I fired up the game and loaded the saved game. Everything seemed to work.

In the OOTP folder in the My Documents, there must have been something missing that wouldn't allow the game to continue past a certain point. With a fresh install, I was able to load the game without problems.

I would suggest doing the same. Make a copy of the folder found in My Documents. All of my photos and such were saved because I copied it before i re-installed.

Also, make sure to create a backup every so often. I didn't and while my game data wasn't affected, I am now double secure when I create backup twice a year.

Since I posted this thread, I can consider the issue closed or 'fixed'.
