Here is the 1st debug I sent into Stardock, it says nothing about random events... The only reason I thought maybe it is related was because of what the earlier poster said & the fact 1 of my debugs ended with a random event (I think I agree with you, it is probably not related)
Below is my debug file, please look at it and see if anything looks bad… especially the “Debug Message: Destroying Window” comment.
