Diplomacy crash -- no more smartexception

from Stardock Forums
Whenever I leave the diplomacy screen, GCWin crashes. Since upgrading DCM Smartexception fails on startup.

Very interesting. Hmm, I can't imagine why it would crash while leaving that screen.

I also experienced a crash from the diplomacy screen, not when exiting it, but when trying to talk to the first race I encountered (the Arcaens). Since my SmartException is not working I am unable to send a report.

PLEASE HELP - You really do need SM to work on our systems.

Cheers,

OOOPPPSSS!!! Make that the Altarians. Anyway, I have a saved game where all you have to do is reload and switch to the diplomacy screen, select the Altarians (the only race there) and press "talk to". The next screen shows for about one second then I am dumped back to the desk top. I am sending the saved game to Cari. Without a functioning SE that is the best I can do.

On the next turn the "speak to" screen stayed up, but when I exited it it crashed. It would appear that there is something here that appears to be partially "self correcting".

I have now discovered all five races and the "speak to" screen still crashes when I leave. I guess I am not going to be able to do any negotiations with them until this problem is fixed.

And with SmartException being broken on my PC, I can not really provide a good report on the crash.

This time the debug.err file has a line (the last line) that looks strange:
------
Debug Message: No test files in current directory.
------
Any idea what could cause this to show up at this time.

Cheers,
Jack
