CTD when designing races

from GalCiv2 Forums
I've had CTD on two different machines when I was designing races.  In both cases rather than save the file I hit "Next" and the program crashed immediately.  This has happened on two different computers.  Can't believe it's supposed to do that.

Please open your debug.err file in notepad, and copy/paste the contents into a post here. This will give us some technical information that can help troubleshoot your problem. The location you'll find the debug.err in varies depending on your game version:

Dread Lords, all versions:
C:\Program Files\Stardock\Totalgaming\GalCiv2

Dark Avatar 1.5-1.6 (non-Vista):
C:\Program Files\Stardock\Totalgaming\GalCiv2\DarkAvatar

Dark Avatar 1.6+(Windows Vista), 1.7+(non-Vista):
My Documents\My Games\GC2DarkAvatar

Twilight of the Arnor:
My Documents\My Games\GC2TwilightArnor

Be sure to copy the debug immediately after the error occurs; if you start the game again, the debug will be erased and recreated for the new session.

Yeah, I should have remembered to do that the last time it happened. Of course, I tried to do it again after posting and this time it didn't crash
