I am using XP. Ill load the saved game, and then I will end a turn. as soon as it gets to my next turn I will end it and then i get an error that says "Range Check Error." And the game locks up.
I reloaded the game and opened the saved game and it is still happening at the same point.

what race's turn does it happen during or does it happen right away. If it happens during a specific race's turn. Try taking over control of that race and seeing what is causing the error exactly when it occurs.

It does happen during a specific races turn, I took control of that races and i got past the error, but as soon as I relinquished control and ended my turn the error happened again.

Try retaining control as you end turn.

Then if it works, go back, and turn on one AI minister, and maintain control as you end turn.

Eventually you will find the minister that is causing the problem.

All right, this was odd.

I had a save game 2 turns before I had the game crash on me, when I went to get the game saved just before the spot where it crashed Last night the error never showed up. Does any one know if tsr programs will only occasionally crash the game?

I get range check error within 20 turns. Start a quickstart game, turn off end turn confirmation and begin turn log. Hold down F12 and by the 20th turn I get a range check error. No mods.

This makes me sad. Was looking forward to a long weekend of playing SEIV Gold.
