If it was when you were trying to run the game, then I would do the following:

1. Re-boot
2. Re-Install
3. Re-Boot
4. Attempt to run the game again.

Thanks.

First of all, do you have IE6 installed? If so, then I think the way he fixed it was this...

1. Go to a command prompt
2. Change into the "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DAO" folder
3. Type "regsvr32 dao360.dll"

Let me know...

Can you please explain how to do this?
I do have IE 6, but don't use it much. I use Firefox.
Thanks

The good news is that it works great on my newer laptop. I'll keep messing around with the older computer tomorrow.

I did notice a problem where the fireworks and crowd noise disappeared after a few minutes, so a possible bug, not sure yet.

Great program overall!!!

Status: offline 		Seems that's trying to access a method within a DLL file and the DLL file is of a previous make, so it can't find the method...or the dll file is missing. I don't know which one, though, sorry.

puresimmer, what dll's does the game use? Are they all packaged in with the game? Or were assumptions made that some "being standard" would be on PC's already?

http://www.puresim.com/puresim2k7_FULL_DEBUG_BUILD.zip

Then, unzip the EXE over your current PureSim2k7.exe (in the c:\Matrix Games\PureSim Baseball 2007 folder).

Next run the game -- you will get a much more detailed error message along with an option to send me a crash report, please do so.

I still think it has somethign to do with a corrupt artifact from an Office install. What version of Windows are you running?

I looked at this error and it looks like a corrupt Microsoft file. Please try and install the download located here and try again:

We are making some kind of convoluted progress, lol!

I sent you the error report, so now awaiting further instructions. I'm glad chrisheck's problem was solved anyway :)

Wow, I think there are some serious issues with your Windows installation. Try my original fix now that we have gotten this far.

Runtime Error 1004.

Thank goodness I can play the game on my laptop, but I wish we could figure out the problem on this desktop. I have quite a variety of games here with no problems, except for PureSim

Still no difference, so I don't know what the problem could be.
No idea why your software is not working when I have a multitude of other programs that run well without a hitch.

Status: offline 		Yea, PureSim is using a component that those other programs are not. I know it is related to something on that machine though. Can you try using the beta patch on the offending machine? Hopefully we'll get a more verbose error message which you can email to me at shaun@puresim.com

Sorry for the trouble, thank god you can at least play it on your other machine or you would have killed me by now :)

Not sure if I can reinstall Office, since it came with the computer when I bought it in 2001, but will check for disks.
