Even though I'm an admin, I'm not going to pile on you about it, but your profile issue with MVP is something that I nor anyone else have run across with the original disc version of the game, and because you've disclosed that you've obtained a non-disc copy, I'm not sure how to best help with your issue outside of possibly reinstalling the game.

Now that's true. I've seen a lot of problems brought up over the years but this one after all this time is a first. Ok @cincykid28 This game is being sold on Amazon right now but I advise you not to buy it from this seller. All you need to do is see how much he is trying to get and you will see why. Keep your eyes out and you will find more reasonable sellers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you read the thread that specially describes attempts to run the game on Windows 10? A handful have gotten it to work, but the vast majority have not, so you’re probably not going to have much luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmsaber007 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Hi--unfortunately I followed this post to a T, and it didn't work on my system (running Windows 10 on an Alienware desktop with MVP Baseball 2005 on 2 CDs). I've tried compatability mode, command prompts, installing the game to different areas--no dice. Is this guide still current, or is there a new process since MS keeps publishing updates?

There is a separate thread about people trying to get the game to run on Windows 19. A handful of people have been able to get it to run, but most have not.

slotcars2017 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 On 5/10/2015 at 10:57 PM, Kccitystar said: Welcome to the thread! THIS is the COMPLETE guide to installing MVP on a Non-Windows XP system. Since this game has been released, this entire community has worked countless man-hours to provide the most realistic MVP Baseball experience possible and have tried to provide the most true-to-life representation of baseball. Within the game's boundaries of course. However, most of us who mod are aware that many of our completed projects may not function with system setups that are not our own. This has always been an issue, especially with any developer that works on a PC title. After realizing that after Windows XP, Microsoft had decided to tighten up security implementing changes to prevent programs from making modifications to your Program Files folder, this guide had to be drafted. This is bad. While for general users like you and I, this is a perfect solution to the spyware programs that plagued Windows XP, this causes problems with a game like MVP Baseball 2005. You see, with a game like MVP Baseball 2005, we have a lot of mods on our site that utilize command line utilities and batch files, which will not work at all if your game is installed in the default Program Files (x86) folder. While there are workarounds, it can be a little ridiculous if you're moving multiple items at once or modding multiple items at once in a batch file, for example, modding under Windows 7 and higher, you have to run any GUI utility (like TiT, BigGUI, EA Graphics Editor or LocLook for example) as an administrator to make any changes if you want to mod a file that's in the Program Files folder. Even moving a file into and out of the Program Files folder will prompt you for Admin access. I've come to realize that there is no need to do any of this if you install the game to your C:\ drive. If the game is installed to the C:\ drive, you would be able to run all of the mods that have batch files (including Total Installer Thingy) without running it as an administrator. So for a 100% optimal game experience, do the following: Uninstall any existing copy of MVP Baseball 2005, as we will perform a completely clean installation, and simply moving the MVP Baseball 2005 folder is not 100% safe, since registry entries will still point to the original installation directory. Manually find and delete any remaining MVP Baseball 2005 files from the directory it was installed from (Usually this is C:\Program Files (x86)\EA Sports\). by deleting the EA sports folder if you do not have any additional EA Sports titles installed on your PC. If you do, delete only the MVP Baseball 2005 folder. Also look for your profile under C:\Users\<your name>\Documents\MVP Baseball 2005\ and delete that too. As a safety measure, what you should do is restart your machine. This will make sure that the game is fully uninstalled/removed and there are no leftover files/cache sitting in memory. After restarting your machine, let's get this show on the road and proceed to install MVP Baseball 2005 via the first disc. The recommended install setting is Full, and make sure that the installation directory is set to C:\EA Sports\MVP Baseball 2005. After installation is complete, do not select "Launch MVP Baseball 2005". What we have to do is patch the game to the current version. While it can be argued what patch to install due to some being just roster updates and some being actual changes to the mvp2005.exe file, my personal recommendation is to install Patch 5, as for me, this gives me a piece of mind knowing that it's the last patch and it's dated 12/12/2005. After installation, congrats, you now have the latest version of MVP Baseball 2005 installed. Compatibility Mode is NOT recommended. Setting the game to run in Windows XP (Any service pack) mode or Windows 7 mode will only cause the game to run with a broken framerate....or as you all know, lightspeed mode. Installing Total Installer Thingy: Total Installer Thingy (known to regular member as TiT) is a utility found exclusively at MVPMods.com that will allow any user to install any file, be it a cyberface, a stadium, a uniform, any MVP related mod or a package containing these files and install them with zero hassle. For 100% compatibility, do the following: Follow this link to download the utility. Make sure that your anti-virus program is disabled as it may interfere with downloading TiT. After extracting the contents of the download, right click on install_TiT_2.0.5.exe and select Run As Administrator. The setup wizard will, unfortunately, default to the Program Files folder (As the application was made on Windows XP, there is no x86 folder). Ensure you change this to your MVP Baseball 2005 directory instead as outlined in Step 5 above. The installation will complete and TiT will be available to use.

Generally Windows 10 is not going to work. Either partition your drive and install XP or 7 on that partition and play from there. Or install another HDD and boot from there. Or buy a basic computer with lowered specs (like an Optiplex) with a dedicated GPU card (I would have 2 GBs minimum). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cf55 Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 I do have a partition on my hard drive and I do have virtual box. However even if I could find a copy of Windows XP with a license how would I register it any more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
