I recently reinstalled GalCiv2 after installing Vista, and when I started up a game of Dark Avatar the ship designer works fine for fluff components, but any actual components like engines or weapons do not appear in the preview window, hence I cannot place them. I exited out and switched over to Dread Lords, and the ship designer there shows nothing at all when I select any components, hull, engine, or otherwise.
As an aside I also noticed that my Collector's Edition bits were missing from Dread Lords. They also did not appear in DA, but I wasn't sure if that was intended or not.
Anyway, here's the debug.err from DA:
