	The most common upgrade issue seems to be the lingering presence of Version 6.5.

			If you installed V7.0 and get a "registry entry missing" message when accessing leagues, you should uninstall your leagues and reinstall them. Something happened in the set of steps you took that left you with missing registry "handles" for your leagues. If this works, you're done! Don't take any of the steps below. Otherwise, here are some more steps you can take:

	1. ''Make sure Version 6.5 is uninstalled.'' To do this, go to Windows "Settings" (you can type "Settings" in the Windows search bar) and Select "Apps." Look at the list and make sure that ONLY Nostalgia Sim Baseball 7 is installed. If earlier versions are on the list, uninstall them. This is a good time to check your MySQL Driver, too. In the same App list, verify that MySQL Connector/ODBC 8.0 is installed (Minimum Version 8.0.23) as well as well as Microsoft C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable. These are essential for running our software.		1. ''Make sure Version 6.5 is uninstalled.'' To do this, go to Windows "Settings" (you can type "Settings" in the Windows search bar) and Select "Apps."
