This has gotten me frustrated so I hope someone has the answer. After a certain race I downloaded kept giving me error msg's about bad ship type, my ship builder main screen stopped working. If I try to create/modify a design, the components on the left show up but the main screen in the middle is empty. I deleted the offending race, as well as 2 others I downloaded that day but no help. Also, any space battles don't show up either. If I'm in general quick battle mode, I see it but if I try to see the detailed battle, I see the icons at the bottom get damage but the main screen is empty. I've already updated the video drivers, activeX is up to version 12 and I've uninstalled/redownloaded the game. Any suggestions?
