Ok, three points:

- Even on my 1Ghz 256Mb ram machine, the (P&N2) AIs can sometimes take over a minute to process. The Windows TaskManager (Ctrl-Alt-Del) will give a "not-responding" tag to any program that has not refreshed its window in 30-45 seconds. The not responding tag means nothing more than that.

- At a glance, everything looks good, and the only thing I am not sure about is the 40Kt armor.

-Definitely try removing all the components, and adding them in one at a time until SE4 stops working. The component you added Last will likely be the problem.

This is the same error in the SEorg Ultimate Mod I wrote. My only problem is that I might find and fix the error, only to have to find and fix it again! lol. It pops up whereever the hell it wants to. I'll just keep coding and hope I kill it one day.

Are you playing a high tech game?

No, I am not playing a high tech game. I start all of my games with the default settings as far a tech goes. I don't know why the game freezes since all the components I've added can't be researched until later in the game. The first new armor isn't available until tech level 7. So the computer players wouldn't have access to them on the first turn and yet the game freezes on the first turn.

Ok, have you tried pulling the components out of the .txt file, then putting them back one at a time?

Keep an eye open for double spaces, capital letters being misplaced, and anything that could cuase a memory error.
