While playing the AI I had a game crash as turn end was pressed. After rebooting, New Game start works on the opening menu, but I am unable to Resume or load game. When I attempt it I get this message:

"TGameSim.ExportData Exception caught: ExportStep: Files picking Impossible d'ouvrir le ficher XXX~CSA.ord This process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process."

The file in question is obviously corrupt and has a size of 0. I tried deleting it, renaming it, substituting another non corrupt CSA.ord file but am unable to--the program is hung up trying to use this file.

Any ideas?

I've sent in saved turn files and log to Support.

Do you have Admin priviledge?

I managed to solve the issue by starting up a new game, saving, and resume games a few times. This allowed me to finally delete the corrupt file the program had been hung up on.
The save game feature with this program is rather peculiar running with Windows 7. With some advice elsewhere on the forum I've managed to overcome most, but not all of the odd things that happen (still cannot effectively host pbem for example). That's ok, at least I can play it. )

Have you tried all of these tips?:

AFAIK, they also help in Win 7

Thanks for that.
