Confirmed. Cascade menu item is disabled.

This version refuses to run under Vista on my system. It starts to load, and then goes to the "Program has stopped running" routine.

Interesting. I am running Vista 64.

Thinking it might be something else in the background causing the new release not to run, I disabled everything using msconfig and tried again. Still no joy.

 

This is far from the first thing I've had problems with under Vista. Right now I'm running 2008.044 with no problems.

It may as well be in Martian for all it tells me, but maybe it means something to one of the programming experts.

I'm having trouble loading one particular saved game. Game and screen shot showing error message in attached zip file.

The saved game is from a custom scenario. I've not changed the data base (HCDB 91024) since saving the game.

The game was saved using GE 2009.42.

I can't start the saved game from either the initial screens or via "File" "Open".

I'm using window XP on a celeron processor laptop.

I seem to be able to open other saved games from different scenarios. I can open the scenario in 2010.1, save the game and reopen it.
