I have XP and it works fine. I need to pop that game back in one of these days.

Hmm,, I have not been able to play it on Windows XP. I dont remember the exact error. Do you have any kind of special setup for it?

I am 3 seasons in and would like to continue my franchise.

Well the obvious is to run it in compatibility mode ....using windows 95 mode I believe. Right click on the executable and change it.
If you've already done that....I'm not sure what it could be.

Yah I have done that. But I also have just copied over the directory it installed from. Its worked from 95-ME, I should find the cd I guess.

Google it and im sure there is a compatibility program you can run. I dont know why you want to play this game as its not very good.

FSP Football was great, baseball was a mess.

I didn't play much of '98, but I played the original FPS Baseball '94, and I liked that quite a bit. Dunno how it holds up today, but at the time I thought the graphics were decent, the atmosphere was relaxing, the controls were simple, the physics were good, and the game itself was pretty fun.

I strongly disagree with that. FPS baseball was a great simulation and ahead of its time. It still stacks up pretty well for graphics based baseball. I know many people who made the trip of FPS baseball-high heat-ootp. And some FPS baseball to ootp.
