No solution? msvcrt.dll

Stonthcrow · 09-02-2003, 01:30 PM

I actually have STB and everytime I try to import a historical team, I get a crash with an error in msvcrt.dll. I know this has been discussed before, but I haven't found a solution. I got the 1.3 patch and it didnt solve the prob. what else can I try?

AMD Athlon XP 1900+

Windows Me
ATI Rage 128 Pro Video

Do you have the file mentioned on your system?

Stonthcrow · 09-02-2003, 06:35 PM

yes I do

Steve Kuffrey · 09-03-2003, 06:29 AM

Have you tried unuinstalling the game and reinstalling? The same with the database?

Stonthcrow · 09-03-2003, 08:05 AM

I have tried both, neither has worked. I also tried it on another computer, Intel P3 1.7GHz, 512mb, Windows 2k Pro, nVidia GeForce2 MX. And odd enough, I got the same error! I got the error with and without the 1.3 patch.

Steve Kuffrey · 09-03-2003, 02:03 PM

Are you following these guidelines?
Importing teams and players from the database...

Are you certain you are using the "generic or comma-delimited" database?

Also, v5 of the database won't work with that version of the game. You may also try d/l the latest SP for windows2000 and see if that helps.

I am trying to do the Historic League import. I want to import all players for a specific year.I am using version 4.5 of the Lahman database in .csv (comma delimited format). Both machines are fully updated with Micosofts newest SPs.

Steve Kuffrey · 09-03-2003, 02:59 PM

Is this w/ STB or STB 2003?

Stonthcrow · 09-04-2003, 08:25 AM

STB. does this function even work at all? I have now tried it on a third computer.... an P133, with 80MB, and Windows 98 and I get the same error! both with and without patch 1.3!

eriqjaffe · 09-04-2003, 09:48 AM

I think you need to have version 4.0 of the Lahman Database for the original STB. I know the function works, as I imported every year out of the Lahman DB for STB 1.3, and I'm almost positive that I had to use the 4.0 version, not the 4.5

Give that a try.

Stonthcrow · 09-04-2003, 11:37 AM

hmm thats a good idea. But where can I find a .csv version of the 4.0? I can only find a 4.0 in access97 format. thanks!

Stonthcrow · 09-04-2003, 02:26 PM

well, made my own .csv file (exported the .mdb out of access) and it worked...sort of......it gets to the end of the import process and when it should say "import done", I get the msvcrt.dll error message again. The files seem to be created, but when I try to use the league, stb.exe crashes with an error in msvcrt.dll. it did this on both the win2k box and winme box.

Stonthcrow · 09-04-2003, 03:39 PM

thanks man....I ll try that and see If I have any success. is STB (not 2003) equal to OOTP3 or 4?

Steve Kuffrey · 09-04-2003, 04:46 PM

v3 so it is a few years old.

Stonthcrow · 09-08-2003, 09:59 AM
