yesterday i downloaded tw08 from office depot every thing was working great till i installed the twcaddy it would not let me install courses kept giving me a fit error,so axe pointed me to the forums and im not real techy.but when i downloaded the current version of net framework i think it messed something up,after that i can not even get the 08 program to open and it hangs up my computer,i have uninstalled the caddy,the net fame work,and 08 and threw all out went and redownloaded 08 so far 3 times and i still get the same.when i uninstall it and try to reinstall from the download folder and i get an ..\tiger_2008_na.viv file not found that is why i have had to download it 3 times so far this morning. i have a new download but have yet to run it till i can find out what is up. you guys have a great thing going on here as all the folks i know that use youre site are real happy.but at this point in time i would just like to get the game running again,i will deal with the course downloads later.

im running windows 7 on an I7 with 10gb of ram
also everything else on my computer is running great
i also have a high speed connection


TIA

Hiya, in the worst case you can try to do a system restore.
You can try to restore your Pc to a previous point just before you updated the Netframe work.


Also be sure to download the correct version of TWCaddie08.
There is a version for 32 bit systems and a version for 64 bit systems.
Some more help on link below:

Hiya Dave...

Good luck with installation. When you have a newer pc with win7 or win8, you dont have to update Net framework.
The post in forum about Net framework was pointed to members with an older system.

Over the last couple of days I installed, uninstalled TW08 and the Caddie 3 times having the same issues. I finally figured out the whole "run as administrator" nonsense. I've not played in a few years, but geez it seemed it use to be a lot easier to get things going on the ole XP....lol. Just be sure after you install the caddie to go to the installation folder, right click the application, and do the "run as administrator" thing. Mine wouldn't work at all until then, now it smooth.

Yes very good news.
Also don t forget to do the confidence folder fix:

When you played some courses you will see the loading times between holes are increasing, the game will become slower and slower.
Do next steps to solve the problem:

1) On desktop you will see the folder My Documents. Open the folder.
For win7: on desktop folder: User.....My Documents
2) Inside My documents,look for Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2008. Open this folder and then open the folder Career
3) Inside Career open the folder Players. Inside this folder, look for your playersname folder and open it.
4) Open the folder Confidence.
5) Inside you will find these files: Hole Type.tcn and Shot Type.tcn.... delete both files.
6) Important step here! Restart the TW08 game and play 1 hole on any stock course, then close TW08 game.
7) Go back to same Confidence folder and you will see both files are regenerated: but now they are very small in size. Now right click the Hole Type.tcn file and choose Properties. Check the box next to Read Only and click OK. Now do the same thing for the Shot Type.tcn file.

All people should do this confidence folder fix.
It is a general bug in the TW08 game, the loading times between holes will grow after each hole you played.
After a few months the game will crash and you will have to reinstall TW08.
The confidence folder fix will fix this problem.
