New error message

[Samurai]

Hi,

I've been pulling my hair out over all the Range Check Errors while *trying* to play this game (I've managed to finish a game only once).

And now, to make matters worse, in my current game (around Turn 70) I keep getting Messages like this:

Access violation at address 00000038. Read of address FFFFFFFF.

and

Access violation at address 0045A6E3 in module "SE4.EXE". Read of address 72617521.


Please, somebody out there, help!

I'm running Version 1.30, with no other mods than the TDM pack and a change to the systemtypes.txt file to remove moons and black holes.

I have Win98 on a Compaq PIII 733 with 128 megs RAM. Before this install of SE4, I ran scan disk and defrag.

Another recurring problem is that sometimes, during the portion of the end-turn phase when my ships are moving around, a picture of one of my ships will get "stuck" in the upper left-hand corner of the screen, and I have to reduce the game and bring it back up again to get rid of the corruption.
