Crash after parameter set during galaxy creation

March 29, 2006 7:16 PM from

Okay, I can start the game, set up my parameters and go all the way through that. As the game shows the initial tip during game initialization and galaxy setup the game causes my entire system to reboot. I am running Windows XP.

The after error recovery message from windows is as follows:

BCCode : 1000008e BCP1 : C0000005 BCP2 : BFA7369F BCP3 : B25BAB0C
BCP4 : 00000000 OSVer : 5_1_2600 SP : 2_0 Product : 256_1

The technical part is as follows:

C:\DOCUME~1\PENALT~1.BUS\LOCALS~1\Temp\WERe684.dir00\Mini032906-02.dmp
C:\DOCUME~1\PENALT~1.BUS\LOCALS~1\Temp\WERe684.dir00\sysdata.xml

The info from the debug.err file is as follows:
