OK, We're back on track.

It turns out that I was having a problem with Windows Vista User Account Control.

I recently bought a new laptop with Windows Vista and following Game 2 of the series last week, I moved the game to the new computer.

As I mentioned in the comments to the last post, I went ahead and took the league directory, copied it, zipped it up, and then used that same zip file and opened the game. Sure enough, the game reset back to game 2. I even tried doing just a simple copy and paste of the game directory to another directory and then opened the game from the new directory, and it still reverted.

Eventually, it dawned on me that the UAC (in some way that I don't fully understand), was preserving an "original" copy of the game (which progressed past game 2), but was preventing me from copying those changes to a new directory. Anytime I tried copying the files (whether by copy-and-paste or zipping), it only worked on the "original" files and did not copy over any changes.

So, I decided to go ahead and turn off the UAC, figuring that this would solve my problem... it would let me copy the changes and life could proceed. So, I turned off the UAC and re-started the machine... only to find that all changes since Game 2 had been wiped out! Aaargh!

Well, I went to work and had the computer replay games 3-4. Anytime the result didn't end with two Seattle victories, I went back and did it again. So, now we stand at game 5. Games 3-4 as reported earlier are now hereby banished to an alternate reality and a new games 3-4 stand in their places. The league file has been updated and posted on the site.

If both Mack and Nate are ready tonight, we can proceed with Game 5. If not, we'll do it tomorrow night.

Important Note: Any potential-free agent signings made after game 2 were also wiped out. You will need to resubmit your offers. Sorry for the inconvenience.

If anyone has any questions, please feel free to ask.
