ship destinations won't take

I had this problem occasionally with GC1, but it seems to be worse with GC2 beta 3: I select a ship, right click on a destination, but the ship heads off to some unknown destination of its own. Right now, I've got a colony ship which simply refuses to head toward the planet I want to colonize. Each turn I left click on the ship, right click on the planet, only to watch it continue to move in the opposite direction. When this happened to me in GC1, I was able to correct it on the turn after it happened, but it's been 6 or 8 turns now, and this colony ship is still ignoring me.

It occurred to me, belatedy, that I should include my system specs:

Dell XPS Laptop running WIN XP Home edition, Service Pack 2
3.4 GHz processor
1 GB RAM
ATI Mobility Radeon 9700

Anything else you'd like to know, let me know.

it's happened to me twice now, also. saving and restarting the game worked the first time, haven't tried it yet for the other one though...
