Boxscores?

[injyjs]

My game won't load boxscores for some reason. I tried both with boxscores saved in the .mog and as .txts, for all teams and for my teams, but nothing works. I'm running v 8.09.

Despite what the error message says, the file path clearly exists!

Anybody else experienced this or know how to fix it?

EDIT: Whoops, I guess this should be in the bugs forum. Sorry about that.

I first posted about this problem myself recently.

After some digging I discovered this has nothing to do with Baseball Mogul whatsoever. This is an internal problem with people's individual machines.

I helped one other person on this board solve this problem. Turns out they did in fact have the EXACT same problem I did, and doing the same thing solved his problem.

Below is a text of an email I wrote him. He tried it, it worked. This does NOT mean it will work for you. But it is definitely worth a shot.

"Odds are your problem was similar to mine. Your system has misassociated .txt files, which is what the gamecaps/box score files are.

In essence, this is NOT a problem with baseball mogul, but a problem with your (and my) computer.

I am not a computer guru -- I can not code, and I have no idea what resides in most of the folders on my system. However after 7 years of being addicted to this thing, I have picked up a bunch of stuff. So try and follow along with me while I explain to you what needs to be done --

First off, I want you to do something.

Open up my computer. Then open up your C drive (assuming that is your main windows drive). Then open up your windows folder.
Then look in that folder for notepad.exe (might be all caps, NOTEPAD.EXE)

If you find it in this folder, it's actual location is C:\Windows\Notepad.exe

***Warning - you may not understand what I am about to say, read through it anyway****

Now here is the problem I had. WHen I checked the file association for .txt files, it said C:\Windows\System32\Notepad.exe
Which, obviously, was in the wrong place on my computer (and at this point I am assuming yours)

At that point, I went into the file association area, and edited the .txt associated (under the advanced tab) and made sure it said the right path to notepad.

***Now, if you understood what I just said, this email is done, because you can go look and fix it yourself. If you have no idea what I said, continue below.***

THe following instructions will only work if you found notepad.exe directly in the windows directory like i suggested above. If it is not there, email me back and we can go from there.

Ok, Open up the my computer Icon -- it resides in your start menu.
At the top, click on tools -- then go to folder options.
Click on the "file types" tab. After you do this, it should take 15-20 seconds to load the file types. Be patient.
There are two headings in that windows now -- extensions, and file types.

Scroll down until you get to the TXT extension.
Once you find it, highlight it by clicking on it once.
There should be a button that says advanced -- click it
A new box should open up. One of the buttons on that box says "edit". Click it
One of the boxes in the new pop up should be "Application used to perform this action" or something similar. In there, should be the path to Notepad.exe
If you have the same problem I did -- it should be WRONG. It probably says
C:\WINDOWS\System32\Notepad.exe "%1"

It SHOULD SAY:
C:\WINDOWS\Notepad.exe "%1"

So go in, erase the System32\ part

Then just close the boxes by hitting ok.

This should fix your problem

Anyway, get started trying to figure this out. Remember, start first by locating Notepad.exe"

Worked like a charm. Thanks a lot!
