A New Computer

Creation Date: December 12, 2002
Revision Date: January 6, 2010

The information in this article applies to:
Cactus League Professional Basketball for Windows Version 2009
Cactus League Professional Basketball for Windows Version 2010

For Version 2009 & Version 2010

To transfer the game, installed team files and all accumulated replay games and statistics to a new computer, follow these instructions

  • Install the complete game onto your NEW computer from the Official Game CD or Official Download file. You must install the complete game and not just an upgrade or update. If you attempt to install an upgrade or update onto your new computer, without the complete game being installed first, the upgrade or update will fail. If you no longer have the Official Download file, you can download it again using the same instructions that were sent to you when you ordered the game. If you no longer have those instructions, send an e-mail message, with your name and address and the game you want to download again to support@cactusdevelopment.com. Redownload instructions can be sent to you for Version 2010 only. This redownload feature is not available for previous versions.
     

  • After successfully installing the complete game on your NEW computer, you will be given an opportunity to install your seasons. Install all of them from the Official CDs, Team Disks, or ZIP files.

  • After successful installation of the complete game and seasons on your NEW computer, click "Free Game Updates" from The Access System to download and install the latest free game update.

  • Now you can copy the Season directories and files from your OLD computer to your NEW computer. You must install each season from the Official CD, Team Disk or Zip file first, before you can copy the stats/data from the OLD computer to the NEW computer.
     

  • On your OLD computer, find your Game Directory, which, if you installed the game into the default directory will be:

C:\Program Files\Cactus\Cactus League Professional Basketball\

or,

C:\Program Files\Cactus League Games\Cactus League Professional Basketball\

depending on the version of the game on your OLD computer.

Version 2010

To find the folder where your data is saved, start The Access System, then click "Utilities", then "Data Path." This is the location of the seasons. Each season has its own subdirectory. Copy the complete subdirectory and all files and directories in it to your NEW computer.

Follow the same procedure to find where the season should be copied to on your NEW computer. Assuming you have installed the season from the Original CD, Team Disk or ZIP file, your season will be identical to your OLD computer after you copy this season directory to your NEW computer.

Version 2009, or earlier

There will be a subdirectory, in the Game Directory, for each of your installed seasons. For example, if the 2002-03 season is installed, you will find the 2002-03 directory in C:\Program Files\Cactus\Cactus League Professional Basketball\. It will look like this:

C:\Program Files\Cactus\Cactus League Professional Basketball\2002-03

Copy the C:\Program Files\Cactus\Cactus League Professional Basketball\2002-03 directory and all files and directories in it to the proper location on your NEW computer. Be sure to copy all subdirectories and files in 2002-03. There are many levels with many files in each level. If you do not copy all of the files and directories in the C:\Program Files\Cactus\Cactus League Professional Basketball\2002-03, the 2002-03 season may not operate properly on your NEW computer.

  • Repeat this process for each installed season.
