Newbie pulling hair out

I've had this wonderful game for almost two months now, and twice now I have had a problem running SEIV on my Dell windows XP POS. When i try to run any number of downloaded races and shipsets, SEIV gives me A TON of errors in regards to the settings file. Not only does this prevent me from using most races I want to download, it prevents me from even starting any mods that contain any new races. This is driving me nuts. Does anyone know why SEIV is doing this, and what I can do to stop it?

You're probably using races designed for an earlier Version of SE4.

Does it say "blah blah blah not found in AI_settings.txt"? or similar?

If the races are part of a mod, it is likely that you downloaded the SE4 classic Version of the mod.

Check to see if there is a Gold Version of the mod available.

Yeah, the record "blah blah blah" stuff does sound about right, that would explain why some are working and some are not, I guess I'll have to go find some newer Versions of the races I want to use.

If you want you can also add the lines it complains about yourself; just copy/paste them from a race that works.
