Game crashes over and over again.

[beano33]

I have installed it on 2 computers now, and haven't been able to get past 3 games in a season without it crashing exeedlingly amount of times and making it unplayable..

First here is my computer specs:
Computer specs
I am running Windows XP on both computers on DSL connection and T1 connections.

Here are all the instances it is crashing on me:

Start Custom League or Standard League...
- Before I start the draft, I try to click on a team to change it to human owned - it crashes -
screencap here

Another thing I noticed is in my process list. It takes up over 99 CPU usage while running certain features of the game. Maybe that is a problem? - screencap here

- ok, so I bypass the clicking on team problem by computer generating the full draft using fictional players, etc.. Then it lets me click on teams now, view players, etc.. Then I run into a problem when I try to sim games. It crashes 4/5 times I try to sim just 1 game.. For example.. it crashed 4 times but finally simmed 2 games, and keeps crashing on the 3rd game I am trying to sim: screencap here

Let me know what other info you need from me to help figure this out.. I would really love to start playing so any feedback is helpful.. thanks!

Make sure you have Microsoft DirectX 9 installed.

just installed it, and still having the same problem.. can't view anything besides a few features of the game without it crashing on me everytime i click something that takes any kind of load

OK, just shooting ideas here:

- Update your video and sound drivers
- Disable 3d (OOTP folder)
- Disable sound

Lets see if anything works. I'm running XP Pro here as well.

Ok i think i found a workaround. Prior to starting up OOTP6 I have to close almost ALL background running programs. I did this and got it to work without crashing. It is inconvenient but at least I got it working. Thanks for the help!
