Re: RANGE CHECK ERRORS
I'm running on W2k too but have not encountered this problem. Try re-installimg the game from scratch and add MODs carefully. As it seems, large numbers of units (like the EA produces in my MOD) can provoke the RCE.

Whenever I try to tell a ship to do anything in a system that it's not currently in, or I turn on a minister of any kind for a ship,
I get the range check error. And when I DO get this error, it locks the game up.
As I recall, SE3 would just do the necessary warps to get to the next system, but here, this causes unfortunate problems with
queuing orders. Because of this, it forces me to hold each ship's hand from system to system, instead of giving it one main order
and then letting the ship's crew or whatever do the nitty gritty stuff of how to get there. By the way, I am playing the game with over 200 stars in the quadrant.
No one has complained about range check errors that come in this name shape or size, so perhaps it has something to do with the fact that I am running Windows 2000...
