VeryCurious,

Dave suggested that I get rid of Football.exe anywhere on the computer and try again. I totally uninstalled Football and then deleted all files with anything about the football program. Originally the zipped file was on an external hard drive and I had extracted the zipped file to the same folder on the external hard drive. I copied the unzipped file (it was called something like 2009 Football Download Deluxe) to the Programs (x86) folder on the C: drive on the new computer and then hit setup from there and it said it installed to a new folder in the Programs (x86), the file called Action Football 2009. It was when I tried the Football.exe file (the Football icon) from the Action Football 2009 folder that I got the message that the file was in the wrong place or was not a valid copy of the file. I had used the same procedure to install Basketball and Baseball and both of them worked properly, so it was a mystery. At any rate, after uninstalling and deleting every file that had Football.exe in it, I went back to the zip file on the external hard drive and unzipped to the C: drive and hit setup and it installed it as Action Football 2009 and I was able to play it. When I went back to it, for some reason it gave me that old error message again and I had to right click on the icon and tell it to run as administrator (I am administrator on the computer) and it would reinstall but had all of my files still there. Dave then suggested that I delete the "fbsetup" file and it would run properly. It is a mystery why I had to install it differently that Basketball and Baseball, but we got the problem fixed by trying things. I have noticed that with Windows 7 I cannot extract a zipped file to the same folder because I get a message that the file already exists. I have always in the past (with XP) unzipped the file to the same folder and would have 1 zipped folder and 1 unzipped folder with the same name in the same folder. I now unzip the file to a different folder.

As to Basketball, I really did nothing other than play the game and it started running smoothly and without any kick back to the main screen. I think it may have had something to do with the fact that I was playing right after setting up the computer and Windows 7, Norton 360, Microsoft Office and other programs were set up to download and run updates in real time and I guess there was just too much of that going on when I first got the new computer up and running. I have not had any problems with Basketball in the last games I have played, so unless the problem reoccurs I consider it gone. If it happens again, I will let you know. It never happened with football or baseball, so maybe the problem with basketball was an abberation. Lets hope so.
