Baseball Mogul
2003 Frequently Asked Questions
Troubleshooting
If you are having
difficulties with the Baseball Mogul 2003 CD-ROM game, or with the
Baseball Mogul 2003 Demo please see if your problem is answered
in the list below.
Q:
I get an error message when I try to install the Demo. It tells
me that it can't find the file instmsia.exe or instmsiw.exe. What
does this mean?
A: Microsoft
updated their installation program after they released Windows 98.
Our demo requires that you have the updated installer. We do not
include it in the download, because it doubles the size of the download,
and because most users have already installed the latest Windows
installer.
If you get this
error message, you can download a free upgrade file, and run it
to update your Windows installer. Then run the Baseball Mogul 2003
Demo Installer again, and it should work.
You can read
more about the installer at the Microsoft website:

If you have
Windows NT 4.x download this:
http://www.sportsmogul.com/demo/instmsiw.exe
After downloading,

Q:
I am unable to get the CD-ROM Installer to work properly. Is there
another way to install the game?
A: You
can manually copy the contents of the Baseball Mogul 2003 CD-ROM
directly to your computer, and the game will work. This bypasses
the installation program. Follow these steps:
- Open "My
Computer"
- Open the
CD-ROM (you may have to right-click and choose "Open"
if the installer tries to start)
- Open the
folder "Program Files"
- Open the
folder "Sports Mogul"
- Select
the folder "Baseball 2003" and type ctrl-C (Copy)
- Go back
to "My Computer"
- Open the
C drive
- Open the
"Program Files" folder (Click to View the Contents
if you need to)
- Open the
"Sports Mogul" folder if you have one. Otherwise,
Create a new
folder and call it "Sports Mogul", then open it.
- Type ctrl-V
(Paste) to paste the files from the CD-ROM into the Sports Mogul
folder
This should
copy all the files over. You will still need to create a
shortcut to play the game. You can put the shortcut on your desktop,
or in
your start menu, or in your taskbar, as desired.
Note: These
instructions may vary slightly by computer, depending on what
version of Windows you are running.
Q:
I originally downloaded Baseball Mogul 2003 from Monkeystone Games.
Since then, my hard drive has crashed and I need to re-download
the game. How can I do this?
A: Monkeystone
Games has a feature that allows you to re-download the game if you
need to.
Click this link
to go to the Monkeystone website: https://www.monkeystone.com/store/login.php?myaccount=1
From that page
you can enter the email address and password you used when you bought
Baseball Mogul, and you will see your purchase history. If you click
the Baseball Mogul link on that page, it will take you to a page
from which you can re-download the files.
Q:
When I play Baseball Mogul 2003, I can play normally for a while,
but then the game hangs and I can't get it to continue. What should
I do?
A: Some
users have reported having this problem if they get too many old
game recaps and box scores saved on their hard drive. To solve this
problem, please try the following:
- Go to the
League menu and choose "Options..."
- Check the
box for "Delete Box Scores and Recaps Every Season"
If this does
not solve the problem, then try turning off some of the other features,
too
- Go to the
League menu and choose "Options..."
- Check the
box for "Delete Box Scores and Recaps Every Season"
- Uncheck the
boxes for Save Box Scores for Humans and Computers
- Uncheck the
boxes for Save Game Recaps for humans and Computers
- Uncheck all
the boxes for Automatic Text Output
- Uncheck "Check
the web for updates"
- Uncheck "Auto-Save"
You also might
need to delete the old output by hand. To do this, go to the following
folders, and delete all the files inside:
- C:/Program
Files/Sports Mogul/Baseball 2003/Box Scores
- C:/Program
Files/Sports Mogul/Baseball 2003/Recaps
