Default A couple of stoopid questions

Ok [deep breath whilst mentally preparing for a barrage of scorn and snide remarks]

I have downloaded the Federation, Klingon, Romulan and Cardassian shipsets from the excellent new age shipyards - everytime I play the Klingon vs Federation, I get an error message at the end of the turn that seems to say something like "error as colony cannot be remoived from system" or something like that - what is the problem and how do I fix it?

Question 2 - despite coaching from Mac5732, I cannot work out how to load the mods from the SEIVG disc. I have followed every thread on this but they all assume a basic knowledge of computers.

Can someone please tell me how to do this in easy steps on the assumption that all I can do with a computer is turn it on

Puke:
First, you have to set a way point somewhere. Then, in the construction window, there is a buttoned labeled "Set Move To" on the right-hand menu. Click it, and you can set the way point there.

The hotkeys are alt-< number > to set a waypoint, and ctrl-< number > to move a ship there, or crtl-W to choose from a list of all the ones you've set.

You can set, delete, and rename them in (F11) Empire Status/Waypoints, which also will show a list of all ships en route to a waypoint, and all shipyards set to move to it.
