I've been sending emails to a number of different members about my MVP Baseball 2005 not starting up for about 1 minute or so with any season that I tried.  Well thanks to losing our electric here at home several days ago, I noticed that the battery backup that this pc is hooked to just beeped about once and then the pc items hooked up to it just went down which isn't normal when using an average backup...it stays up for 10 min. or so to give you a chance to shut down.  Well, I ordered a battery for it and when I installed it...I had a notion to try one of my seasons and it started right up.  Then later on it didn't.  I noticed after some investigating that there were a couple weird updates that got installed that looked a little fishy.  I uninstalled both of them and so far so good...whenever I try to start up MVP, it doesn't waste any time it boots right up like it used to and should do.  I just wanted to mention this especially if anybody has the same problem and uses a battery backup.

Take care Guys!!!

How 'bout the stupid tv screens on these?  Also replace the A's tv screen with the flags & scrubary on the b & w photo beyond CF.  Also with the Orioles, allow the in-game scoreboard to look like my file without blocking out a portion of the line score.  Also if you'd be willin', teach me those tricks so I wouldn't need to pester ya so much...LOL.

What ya think?

PS:  Now...LOL...how are you with removing stadium parts off and adding something else in its place??!!

Thanks Jim!

BallFour was almost (LOL) a genius.  Neither of us were right...I was on the correct side but didn't take it far enough...the WHOLE right side is colored as attached will show.  I attached each try's guard file and corresponding in-game photo.  You can see what actually gets colored and what is ACTUALLY shown in the game.  Besides of course the Orioles' shin guards, there were other teams through the years that had 2-tone shin guards as well.  Maybe you missed the nail ole boy (BallFour), but at least you hit the wood nearby...in other words you got me thinking a bit!!!  Thanks a million for your help!!!

I have another question as well, but it's about the game operation itself.  When I tried to go and get a print screen by pressing replay, etc., when I turned the "camera" around to the front of the Orioles catcher, it completely kicked me out of the game.  It never did that before.  Could it be a peace of hardware going bad?  I have all the RAM that I can put onto the mother board (32mb).  I'm running W7 64 bit.  I've done testing like when you boot up you can press function keys and go into menus...I pressed F12 and did the test in there and it all came back with green checkmarks.  The pc itself seems to be running extra slow than it's supposed to.  Could it be a Windows update like Framework 4.5, etc.  I have a list of updates to NOT install to allow MVP to run and I don't have any on that listing on the pc.  It also takes about a minute for the game to show the intro pic as attached below...the 00000056 one.  I've defragged my butt off and tried to reinstall the operating system to NO avail.  I gotta get this fixed...it's driving me buggy!!!  Also, just out of nowhere the game automatically minimizes to the taskbar.

Thanks,

I was wondering how can I change the color of part of the shin guard (knee area) and have it show in the game.  Here is what I did and what I'd like it to look like.  When I then checked in the game, the knee part was still all black.

Thanks,
