Hi Kappy....

Are you using xp.....maybe you can try to make a windows xp restore point. you can restore your PC to a point before you had the problems.
On link below you can read how to create restore point:

Hi
I really think I am missing files in the game, I do not believe this has anything to do with XP, I have tried unistalling the caddie and the agusta course
and then back again I have no idea where I was when this occured
IF I uninstall the game itself will I loose all my progress in the game,
that would suck for sure thanks

When you can t solve the problem and you want to reinstall TW08 game, there is option to save your career:
So you will not lose your progress

Before you uninstall game:

On desktop go to folder: My documents
inside you will find folder: Tiger woods PGA tour 08
Right click folder (Tiger woods PGA tour 08)and choose: Copy
Now go back to desktop and right click on desktop and choose: Paste.
Now you created back up to save your career.

Now uninstall TW08 game....and reinstall TW08 game.
When you reinstalled TW08.....play 1 hole on any course...and go back to desktop.
On desktop go back to the saved folder (Tiger woods PGA tour 08)..and copy the folder and replace it in folder: My documents
When you are asked to overwrite.....say yes.

Hi Kappy.....try to do the XP restore point ( see post above ).
Follow the instructions.....and look for restore point.( for example restore to last week )
When you did the restore point ( example: last week ).....you will also restore your TW08 game to last week. So when it was working last week.....it should work after restore.
Also good idea to do a virusscan......

When you start TW game.....on main page you will see: Change profile...
Inside you will find players list....you should find your custom player in list.

Interesting....

It could have been the installer. not saying that it wasnt, but Im surprised since NO ONE has had this problem before. Hard for me to tell you to try installing a different course so that I can try and help find what happened. Accept my appolgy and please think of trying ot install some other course then Augusta.

thank you Tru
I got my game back on track, I did not have my whole profile back
but my tiger challenge was back where I left off, I had zero attributes,
I had to do something wrong with a file within the game,
I will need to read threw the download instructions again,
even when I installed 07 games form here, they kinda of ran jerky and slow
I have a pentium 4, 1gb mem dual core processor,a decent
vid card, I am almost ready for a new system, if you have any suggestions
I am open, gunpower had helped me alot,very knowledgeable guy, you never know I may send a donation
your way, not blaming the site at all, I just screw things up, I like the site, for a 50 year old guy. games are still fun.
for sure, you guys are doing a great job, thanks again kappy

Have you tried turning down the settings when you play custom courses. I can play stock courses full throttle but customs I have to turn some things down.
