Simulator Access Violation

Description

While in the main Space Combat Simulator window, while scrolling down to view the various items in the list to choose from, I repeatedly get an access violation: "Access violation at address 006EA8C5 in module 'SE5.exe'. Read of address 00000010" and the game crashes and I quit it with the task manager (ctrl-alt-del).

By repeatedly I mean it will crash everytime I reload SE5, go back to the Space Simulator, and scroll down, it will crash the same way and everything. I can see everything fine in "view other empires ship designs" and unit designs too, in the design list. No crashes there.

System specs:

Intel Centrino 1.5 ghz
1 GB Ram
Nvidia Geforce FX Go5200
Windows XP Home

I also got another crash with the Alliance Relations tab in the alliance chambers. I think you already know about that though, so I won't make a separate post.
