Has anyone else colonized a planet with ruins and it said you found ancient technology but listed nothing below it. I loaded the save game from the turn before and tried again and still I recieved nothing.

I think the game specifies what kind of research item you will get when the game starts. So you might of already researched it.

Happened once to me. Didn't help AI, though.

The ancient ruins that give you the unique items can sometimes do this. If it is one of the types that randomly gives you levels in "normal" technology this will not happen (except if all tech is already researched).
It will only happen if you have already gotten the unique technology that that world had to offer.

Happened to me also, landed on planet, no new tech, reloaded and tried again, same result - nada tech.

When that happened to me, I had no special techology. I am 100% positive on this.
Also, another time, I managed to get all the special technology without this 'duds'.
