Need Help!

I don't know if anyone else has run across this but I was working on my mod one day when I went to test my changes in SEIV. Anyways I go to run SEIV and it says it can't find the components.txt file. I don't know why it does this. If I move my component.txt file and put another in it's place it works fine. I have tried everything, right down to opening another component.txt file and replacing all of the components. Nothing works,

Has anyone else run across this?

Yes I have and it turned out to be an error in the file so the program could not read it.

What was the error and how did you fix it?

First make sure there is exactly one blank line after the "*BEGIN*".

If there are two, you should get no components, but if there are zero, it might complain that it can't read the file.

SJ, pay attention! *slaps ruler on desk*

The problem is Space empires was refusing to admit there even was a components.txt, I'm no newbie here. I found the problem it was in my crystaline armor, don't know what it was though.

"but if there are zero, it might complain that it can't read the file."

Nope.. it loads fine. Of course, you can't DO anything, but it does load.
