Interesting stuff, MD - I was trying to find what an issue was with another owner of the game and found the particular error he was getting was often associated with AV conflicts despite what the error message would normally indicate (not just with OOTP, by the way). Many who experienced it were often able to run whatever program they were using by uninstalling their AV. I'd really hoped major AV developers had finally broken past the "uninstall your AV before you start your game" stage of compatibility, but I suppose they're really not all up to snuff when it comes to that.
